NOTICE

THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS SUBJECT TO

CHANGE WITHOUT NOTICE.

WHEELCHAIR USER

As a manufacturer of wheelchairs, Invacare endeavors to supply a wide variety of

wheelchairs to meet many needs of the end user. However, final selection of the

type of wheelchair to be used by an individual rests solely with the user and his/her

healthcare professional capable of making such a selection.

WHEELCHAIR TIE-DOWN RESTRAINTS AND SEAT RESTRAINTS

TRRO includes four factory-installed transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored

pelvic belt. TRRO has been crash-tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1

Section 19 Frontal Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 168 lb crash

dummy, which corresponds to a person with a weight of 114 to 209 lbs.

Only use the transport brackets included with TRRO for the purposes described in

this manual.

As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved any tie-down

systems for transportation of a user while in a wheelchair, in a moving vehicle of any

type. It is Invacare’s position that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into

appropriate seating in vehicles for transportation and use be made of the restraints

made available by the auto industry. Invacare cannot and does not recommend any

wheelchair transportation systems.

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is an

option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat positioning strap),

Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an additional

safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap is a positioning belt only. It

is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high stress loads such as auto or

aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, belt MUST be replaced immediately.

Invacare products are specifically designed and manufactured for use in conjunction

with Invacare accessories. Accessories designed by other manufacturers have not

been tested by Invacare and are not recommended for use with Invacare products.
