V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
B. Transit Use
It is always safest to transfer out of your wheelchair onto a seat in a motor vehicle with appropriate
seat and shoulder belts. Never use this wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle unless it has
been equipped with the Transit Option.
The Focus CR wheelchair equipped with the Transit Option has been tested to and passed the
RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 19: Wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles and ISO 7176-
19:2008 Wheelchairs -- Part 19: Wheeled mobility devices for use as seats in motor vehicles.
RESNA and ISO standards are designed to test the structural integrity of the wheelchair as a seat
for use in a motor vehicle. These standards are also designed to create compatibility with
Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems (WTORS).
Not all configurations of the Focus CR wheelchairs are compatible with the Transit Option. Ki
Mobility manages the configuration and does not offer the Focus CR wheelchair except in
compatible configurations. If you make changes to your Focus CR wheelchair after you receive it,
you should contact your wheelchair provider or Ki Mobility to make sure it is appropriate to
continue to use your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle.
Aftermarket seating may have replaced the original equipment seat and back support designed
and tested as part of the Transit Option. Your wheelchair provider should tell you if the seating they
provided is original equipment or replacement aftermarket seating. A complete system of
wheelchair frame, seating, Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint Systems and a properly
equipped motor vehicle, that have all complied with the standards mentioned in this section,
should be in place before using a Focus CR wheelchair equipped with the Transit Option as a seat
in a motor vehicle.
When using your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle you should always observe the following
instructions:
• The rider must be in a forward-facing position.
• The rider and all items carried must not weigh more than 300 lbs (400 lbs for Heavy Duty
option).
• Backpacks and pouches should be removed and secured separately in the motor vehicle.
In the event of an accident these items can become dangerous projectiles, which may
injure or kill you or other occupants of the motor vehicle.
