Important Points to Remember

MANDATORY! Read and follow all manufacturer's instructions, including the
product owner's manual.
MANDATORY! Any WTORS or power chair involved in a vehicle crash should be
replaced.
WARNING! The power chair seatback should be positioned at an angle of no more
than 30 degrees to the vertical. If a greater recline angle is required, the upper-torso
belt anchor point should be moved rearward along the vehicle's sidewall to ensure
that the belt maintains contact with the power chair occupant's shoulder and chest.
WARNING! Visually inspect all WTORS equipment according to WTORS
manufacturer's instructions on a regular basis, and have worn or broken components
replaced immediately. Ensure anchorage track is free of dirt and debris.
WARNING! Remove hard trays and stow or secure them elsewhere in the vehicle to
reduce the chance of power chair occupant injury from contact with the tray.
WARNING! Consider using foam trays in place of rigid trays during vehicle transport.
If that is not possible, place dense foam padding between the power chair occupant
and the tray, and make sure that the tray is securely attached to the power chair so
that it will not break loose and cause injury to other occupants in a crash.
WARNING! Ensure the power chair occupant is properly positioned to protect the
neck during rear impact.
WARNING! Secure all removable accessories, including clothing guards, medical,
and other equipment to the power chair or vehicle to prevent injury during a crash.
WARNING! If head and neck support is required during travel, use a soft, light neck
collar as they are less likely to cause neck injury in a crash. Do not attach the soft
collar to the power chair or seating system.
