INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing your new Convaid transit wheelchair, proven

safer for use as seating aboard a motor vehicle. This guide includes important

information regarding the use of your transit wheelchair. Please read it

carefully and keep it for future reference.

When riding aboard a motor vehicle, it is preferred that the wheelchair user

transfer from the wheelchair into the vehicle manufacturer’s seat and use a

federally approved, crash-tested restraint system. However, it may be

undesirable for some wheelchair users to transfer to the seat provided by the

motor vehicle manufacturer. In these cases, Convaid transit wheelchairs offer

a safe alternative.

All Convaid transit wheelchairs comply with a newly developed transit

wheelchair standard that requires wheelchairs to be dynamically crash tested.

(Largest and smallest sizes of each model have been crash-tested at a leading

U.S. university; intermediate sizes may be certified to standard by Convaid.)

Proper use of your Convaid transit wheelchair will significantly reduce the

likelihood of injury in the event of a motor-vehicle accident.

This guide provides instructions on how to correctly secure your Convaid

wheelchair to the bus or van and safely restrain the wheelchair occupant.

When selecting a wheelchair, choose the size in accordance with the

occupant’s weight as shown in the following table.

Seat Width Occupant Weight Seat Depth

(in. / cm) (lb. / kg) (in. / cm)

10 / 25.5 35-66 / 15.9-29.9 9-11 / 22.86-27.94

16 / 40.5 85-170 / 38.6-77.1 13-16 / 33.02-40.64

18 / 45.5 85-170 / 38.6-77.1 16-19 / 40.64-48.26

Introduction

CONVAIDTRANSIT GUIDE

1. The wheelchair should be used as indicated in the User’s Guide

instructions accompanying the wheelchair. Failure to do so

increases the likelihood of serious injury in a vehicle crash.

2. A three-point occupant restraint and a four-point wheelchair

tiedown system in compliance with SAE J2249 Wheelchair Tiedown

and Occupant Restraint Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles should be

used at all times during transit.

3. Use positioning belts or postural supports in a moving

vehicle only in conjunction with a crash-tested belt

restraint system. NEVER USE POSITIONING BELTS OR

POSTURAL SUPPORTS AS MOTOR VEHICLE

RESTRAINTS, unless they have been designed, tested, and

labeled for this use. (See #4 below.)

4. Wheelchair-anchored lap belts intended for use as an occupant

restraint in a motor vehicle must comply with Section 19

ANSI/RESNA WC/Volume 1, Wheelchairs Used as Seats in Motor

Vehicles, or “WC19.” Your Convaid transit wheelchair provides

the option of using a crash-tested, wheelchair-anchored lap belt.

5. Whenever possible, auxiliary wheelchair equipment (such as an

oxygen tank) should be removed from the wheelchair and secured

in the vehicle during transit so that it does not break free and

cause injury to vehicle occupants during a crash.

6. Adequate clear zones are required for occupants restrained by

both upper- and lower-torso belt restraints. See Figs. 1 & 2.

7. Do not alter or substitute any part or component of the

wheelchair, wheelchair frame or wheelchair seating system.

8. If the wheelchair has been involved in a vehicle crash that requires

the vehicle to be towed, it may have been structurally damaged,

which could compromise its safety and effectiveness. Wheelchairs

involved in such incidents should be returned to Convaid for

inspection and evaluation.

CONVAIDTRANSIT GUIDE

Wheelchairs Used as Seating in

Motor Vehicles

Before attempting to use your Convaid transit wheelchair as a seat in a motor

vehicle, please take a moment to become familiar with some fundamental

principles of occupant safety:

Most serious or fatal injuries occur during frontal-impact crashes.

The primary cause of injury to motor-vehicle occupants in frontal

crashes is a lack of effective occupant restraint, which results in

contact with the vehicle’s interior components or objects and

structures outside the vehicle.

Effective protection of occupants in frontal impacts requires the use

of upper- and lower-torso belt restraints that comply with federal

safety standards and WC19. The lower-torso belt restraint should be

positioned snugly across the pelvis and the upper-torso belt restraint

should be positioned snugly over the shoulder and chest. Belt

restraints used in this manner also greatly reduce the likelihood of

injury during vehicle rollovers.

For belt restraints to be effective, the wheelchair must be effectively

secured to the motor vehicle, and the belt restraints must remain in

position on skeletal portions of the body and not place undue stress

on the abdomen.

ANSI/RESNA WC19

For a wheelchair to provide safe seating in a motor vehicle, it is essential that

it comply with the safety standard known as Section 19 ANSI/RESNA

WC/Volume 1, Wheelchairs Used as Seats in Motor Vehicles, or “WC19.”

Convaid’s transit wheelchairs comply with this new voluntary transit

wheelchair standard and have been dynamically tested according to the

Passenger Safety

procedures of Annex A of the standard, which includes the use of a

wheelchair-anchored pelvic belt in a 30 MPH/20 g deceleration, frontal impact.

The purpose of WC19 is to:

reduce the risk of injury to motor-vehicle occupants who remain

seated in a wheelchair during transit and

establish an industry standard so that wheelchairs that comply with

this standard will provide a reasonable measure of safe and suitable

seating during normal transportation and in a frontal impact.

The standard contains a number of design and performance requirements

specifically related to the use of wheelchairs as seating in motor vehicles.

Among the most important of these are that:

wheelchairs provide four easily accessible hook- or strap-type

attachment points for strap-type tiedowns with hook- or strap-type

end fittings to facilitate wheelchair securement in motor vehicles (see

Fig. 3) and

wheelchairs are crash tested at 30 MPH/20 g deceleration while

secured by a four-point strap-type tiedown and loaded with an

appropriately sized crash-test dummy. (Note that this is essentially

the same level of crash testing required by federal safety standards

for passenger motor vehicles.)

When you use your Convaid transit wheelchair as seating in a motor vehicle, it

is vital that you use a wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint system

(WTORS) that complies with SAE J2249. As stated in this recommended

practice, the wheelchair must be secured in a forward-facing configuration

with a J2249-compliant tiedown. The wheelchair occupant should be

restrained by both upper- and lower-torso belts for optimal crash protection.

PASSENGERSAFETY

Attach tiedown straps to securement points (red brackets) located on the

wheelchair’s legs in accordance with the WTORS manufacturer’s instructions.

Securement points are identified by the symbol in Fig. 4. and their location

on the wheelchair illustrated in Fig. 5. You must use all four tiedown

straps when securing your Convaid wheelchair in a motor vehicle.
