Its design is nothing short of revolutionary. Why? Because it offers the best of both worlds. The best in lightness, strength and performance combined with aluminum and carbon materials. And, for the first time, the best possible settings and adjustments for a rigid wheelchair. THE LIGHTEST WHEELCHAIR OF ITS CATEGORY With a transit weight of only 9.2 lbs (4.2 kg), APEX erases any preconceived notions about rigid wheelchairs. It is completely adjustable to meet the needs of almost any client and operates like a thoroughbred. HEAD-TURNING DESIGN Check out the design and construction details on the APEX. Or examine its innovative components and accessories such as the integrated impact guard and rigidify system. In one word... revolu- tionary. Welcome to a new era in rigid chair design and performance. SHED THE WEIGHT, UP THE PERFORMANCE Available in aluminum frame, the APEX cantilever design is con- structed using the industry’s most advanced materials. Plus, the APEX represents not just low frame weight. It is also the lightest configured adjustable wheelchair in the industry. NIMBLE AND RESPONSIVE The unique rear rigidizing bar on the APEX optimizes ride perfor- mance. By increasing rear-frame rigidity, we’ve achieved an open design concept that increases lateral stability. Result — flex where and when you want it, and no sacrifice in stabili- ty for gains in comfort and ease of transit.

NOTE: If you ignore these warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in the manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and damage the wheelchair. 4 SLEEK STYLING Inspired by modern design and aesthetics, the head-turning lines on the APEX prove once again that form should follow function. We invite you to linger on the APEX’s gentle curves and bold styling. Every design detail delights the eye and excites the senses. ADJUSTS TO YOUR LIFE As people change and evolve, so should their wheelchairs. From simple adjustments in back angle, seat and floor height to tunable rear wheel positions and seat width, the APEX is fully modular and adjustable. Plus, its laser-etched markings allow you to more easily adjust key components and specify exact positioning. BUBBLE LEVEL (DOUBLE) For quick and easy angle adjustments. TECHNOLOGIES HIGH-MODULUS CARBON T700 The lightest and most rigid material available, also renowned for its vibration dampening properties. UNIQUE ALUMINUM ALLOY Stronger and lighter than the competition's. TRIPLE-REINFORCED ALUMINUM Reduces weight while maintaining high strength. CLAMPED RIGIDIZING SYSTEM Reduces weight while maintaining high strength. INTEGRATED IMPACT GUARD WITH TOP GRIP Prevents daily-use scratches to the front of frame. Adds high friction grip for transfers. Protects vulnerable areas of lower extremities. BUBBLE LEVELS An alloy stronger and lighter than aluminum 7005. STANDARD CARBON FIBER CAMBER TUBE Reduces weight while maintaining high strength. LASER ETCHED MARKINGS An alloy stronger and lighter than aluminum 7005. NEWTON ACCESSORIES Reduces weight while maintaining high strength. APEX C The pinnacle of design and performance, the APEX Carbon is the choice of discriminating users. The lightest, smoothest ride in the world! APEX A Since choice is important, we also build the APEX Aluminum with a unique alloy that’s 20% stronger than 7005 aluminum. This elevates the APEX A into a new category of adjustable performance.

However, Motion Composites is not a health care advisor, and we are not aware of the individual condition or needs of the wheelchair user. Therefore, the final selection of a particular model, its adjustments, the type of options and accessories, rest solely with the wheelchair user and the health care professional advisor. Choosing the best chair and setup for your safety depends on the following criteria: 1. Your disability, strength, balance and coordination; 2. The types of hazards you must overcome in daily use (where you live and work and other places you are likely to use your chair); and 3. Your need for options for your safety and comfort (such as anti-tippers, positioning belts or special seating systems). If you ignore this warning, you may endanger your health. WARNING - OCCUPIED TRANSIT ANCHORS AND TIEDOWNS The wheelchair user should always transfer into the vehicle seat and use the motor vehicle installed restraint system whenever feasible. The wheelchair should then be stored and secured in the vehicle. If an appropriate transit system must be used, ensure that the wheelchair is equipped with the Motion Composites tran- sit anchor kit. It must also be ensured that the straps, hooks and tiedowns of the paratransit vehicle’s tiedown system meet the safety standards of the province, state or country where the user is being transported, and installed accordin to the tiedowns manufacturer’s standards. Motion Composites cannot recommend, and does not recom- mend, tiedowns or manufacturers of tiedown systems. WARNING - SEATING RESTRAINTS It is the obligation of your dealer and health care profes- sionals advising you to determine if you require a seating restraint or positioning system to ensure that you can safely operate your wheelchair. A fall from a wheelchair may cause serious injuries. INFORMATION The information in this document is subject to change without notice.

SAFETY 5.1 CHECKLIST See related appendix (section 13, Safety inspection checklist). 5.2 WEIGHT LIMITATION • The APEX wheelchair has a weight limit of 265 lb (120 kg). The specified weight capacity includes the rider and any transited or attached luggage (e.g.: backpack). • Ensure that the total weight is below the specified capacity. A user with a 10 Ib (5kg) backpack, for instance, should not exceed a weight of 255 lb (115 kg). • The wheelchair is designed to support only one person. Please do not stand up on the footrests. • Motion Composites is not responsible for any damages or inju- ries caused by the misuse of this wheelchair. 5.3 WEIGHT TRAINING AND SPORTING ACTIVITIES • This wheelchair was not designed or tested as a weight training or stretching apparatus. Do not attempt to use this wheelchair for weight training or stretching exercises. The warranty shall be void if the wheelchair has been used for any weight training or stretching purposes. • This wheelchair is not intended to be used during sporting activities. WARNING Should you make any adjustments, repairs or do any servic- ing, ensure that all fasteners are tightly secured before use. WARNING Exceeding the specified weight limit could damage the wheelchair and/or cause severe injuries. WARNING This wheelchair was designed to be tailored to the dimen- sions of its owner. As such, no other person should use it unless adjusted by a qualified specialist, approved by Motion Composites. 5.4 PREVENTION OF TRAPS FOR BODY PARTS Particular attention should be paid to body parts that are close to moving components of the wheelchair such as the rear wheels and casters. Hands should be outside the rear wheels, close to the hand rims when riding. Wheel locking mechanisms should only be applied when the wheelchair is completely stopped. 6. RIDING YOUR APEX CAUTION Any adjustment to the wheelchair (seat height, depth, backrest angle, tilt, wheel size and position, footrest position) could affect the center of gravity. The adjustments should be performed by a professional and the user should be informed that the stability could be affected by these adjustments. WARNING DO NOT tilt the wheelchair or perform a wheelie without assistance. DO NOT stand on the wheelchair or a part of its frame. DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless the backrest is fully unfolded. DO NOT use the footrest as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair or to reach for an object. 6.1 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CRASH • We recommend that you review safe wheelchair use with your physician prior to using this equipment. • Take time to read the instructions in this manual to ensure that you feel comfortable using the wheelchair without assistance. • Always be aware of hazards. • Unless you are a skilled rider of this wheelchair and sure of not being at risk to tip over, anti-tippers SHOULD always be used. Since anti-tippers are optional in some markets, Motion Composites strongly recommends ordering them as they are an important safeguard for the wheelchair user. a) Always use anti-tippers if you are not a skilled rider. b) Always use anti-tippers each time you modify or adjust your wheelchair. Any change may make it easier to tip backward. c) Use anti-tippers until you adapt to the change, and are sure of not being at risk to tip over. d) Always install both anti-tippers. 6.2 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS • The APEX wheelchair was designed for used on hard and plane surfaces like asphalt, concrete, and indoor surfaces such as carpet or wood. • DO NOT operate on roads, streets or highways. • Beware that the maneuverability of the wheelchair is signifi- cantly affected by various outdoor conditions such as sand, mud, rain, snow and rough surfaces. If used in such conditions, it is recommended to frequently have it serviced. • Be careful when using your wheelchair on wet or slippery sur- faces. Exposure to water or excessive moisture can be damaging and may even cause the wheelchair to corrode over the long-term. • DO NOT leave your wheelchair in humid environments such as the bathroom and do not use it while taking a shower. 6.3 CAREGIVERS • NEVER use removable parts (armrests, footrests) to push the wheelchair and never use them to lift the wheelchair occupied since they could cause injuries or damage. • Ensure that the wheelchair is equipped with push handles and that its grips are securely in place. • Turn the anti-tippers devices upwards to avoid catching them with your feet and make sure you return them to the downward position once you stop propelling the wheelchair. • Should you need to leave the user unattended, lock the wheels and place the anti-tipping devices back in the downward posi- tion. • Ask an experienced caregiver to explain safe assistance methods to you. • Ensure ongoing communication between you and the wheel- chair user to avoid any kind of confusion. • Maintain proper posture to tilt or lift the wheelchair; keep your back straight and bend the knees. • Instruct the wheelchair user to lean his/her back when you are tilting the wheelchair. 6.4 RIDING YOUR WHEELCHAIR 6.4.1 TO REDUCE THE RISK OF A TIP-OVER, YOU SHOULD: 1. CONSULT your doctor, nurse or therapist to find out what axle, caster position and other chair configuration options are best for you. 2. CONSULT your authorized Motion Composites dealer BEFORE modifying or adjusting your wheelchair. Often, an adjustment you wish to make can be offset by the one you have not con- sidered. For instance, you may want to adjust the back angle rearward, which will increase the likelihood of a rear tip-over. You might not think you could counteract this tendency by moving the rear wheels backward. Your authorized Motion Composites dealer will be able to give you expert, personalized advice in such matters.

NOTE: If you ignore these warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in the manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and damage the wheelchair. 12 3. ALWAYS have someone assist you until you learn your chair’s balance points and are completely comfortable in your ability to operate it under all conditions without tipping over. 4. ALWAYS use anti-tippers. If you ignore these Warnings, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and dam- age your wheelchair. 6.4.2 BALANCE POINT It is important to begin by learning all the specific characteristics of your wheelchair with the assistance of a therapist. Any additional weight will affect the balance point of your wheelchair. Be aware of the new riding characteristics following any alterations to your wheelchair. Your body position, posture or weight distribution will shift your wheelchair’s center of gravity. The center of gravity is affected by the angle of the wheelchair on a ramp or slope. This can be felt in forward and backward as well as side to side movements. Have someone help you learn the various riding techniques. Use anti-tippers until you are skilled at riding your wheelchair in any situation. 6.4.3 WHEELIES • A wheelie means lifting the front wheels off the ground and balancing on the rear wheels. • DO NOT attempt to perform a wheelie with your wheelchair be- cause of the dangerous nature of this kind of maneuver. Motion Composites recognizes that some wheelchair users will ignore this Warning. Should you decide to ignore this Warning, follow these steps to help learn to do a wheelie as safely as possible. • NEVER attempt to learn to do a wheelie without first consulting your health care advisor. NEVER try to learn to do a wheelie without an assistant who can catch you if you start to fall. NEVER attempt to learn to do a wheelie unless you are a skilled rider on this chair. • Motion Composites recommends to always use the anti-tippers unless they need to be removed to go up or down a curb or step. Anti-tippers should be reinstalled once the curb/step is cleared. 6.4.4 TRANSFERRING • Rotate the casters forward to enhance stability. • Place the wheelchair as close as possible to your transfer loca- tion. • Lock the wheels. • Position yourself as far back as possible when transferring weight to reduce risk of tipping forward. If you have good upper body strength, balance and agility, you may be able to perform transfers independently. • If at all possible, move the footrest in a position that will avoid putting weight on it. If possible, use a transfer board. WARNING Always ask a therapist to teach you safe transfer methods. For safety reasons, user should always reduce to the minimum the transfer distance. • DO NOT sit or transfer into the wheelchair unless the backrest is fully unfolded. • DO NOT use the footrest as a platform when getting in or out of the wheelchair or to reach for an object. 6.4.5 GETTING DRESSED • When dressing or undressing on the wheelchair, rotate the casters forward and lock anti-tippers in the downward position. • If your wheelchair is not equipped with anti-tippers, back it against a wall and lock the rear wheels. 6.4.6 REACHING/LEANING/BENDING WARNING The balance point may shift when dressing and/or reaching for objects while sitting in the wheelchair. • If possible, use a reaching device or ask for assistance when reaching for objects. • Move the wheelchair as close as possible to the required object. Rotate the casters as far forward as possible from the rear wheels. • Always make sure you are sitting fully back in the seat to en- sure your safety. Do no shift your weight sideways, rather opt to move towards the front of the wheelchair. Keep one hand on the wheel or armrest opposite the side of the object you are trying to reach. Never reach to the rear of the wheelchair unless it is equipped with anti-tippers. • Never reach for objects over the seat back: reach only as far as your arm naturally extends without moving on the seat. • DO NOT lock the rear wheels if you are reaching backwards. • Avoid putting pressure on the footrests. 6.4.7 MOVING BACKWARDS • Make sure both anti-tippers are locked in the lower position. • Move slowly: the wheelchair is designed to provide you with more stability when moving forward. Look around as often as possible to avoid obstacles in your path. 6.4.8 RAMPS, SLOPES & SIDE HILLS Ramps of 10 feet (3 meters) or less in length: • If you need to use a short ramp of 10 feet (3 meters) or less, the angle of the slope should not exceed 10 degrees, which corresponds to a slope of 17.63%, a rise of 1.74 feet (0.53 meter) over a distance of 10 feet (3 meters). • Make sure to be assisted by a caregiver who has the physical ability to retain the wheelchair and its occupant. • The wheelchair must always point facing up the slope. • The caregiver should always remain behind the wheelchair to retain it. • Always lock the anti-tip per anti-tipper in the safe position. • Follow the same words of caution for a hill or a slope of 10% or less. • Do not use your wheelchair on a ramp under 3 meters in length if the slope angle is greater than 10 degrees (17.63%).

Be cautious for changes in terrain height or stairs at the end of a slope (casters may lock from simply hitting a small bump). • Do not use your wheelchair on your own on slopes or hill of more than 10 feet (3 meters) in length if the angle of the slope is greater than 5.7 degrees (10%). 6.4.10 OBSTACLES • Always look for obstacles or road hazards such as potholes and broken surfaces. • Clear your own environment (work, home) of any obstacles. Never use objects (furniture, ramps, and doorknobs) to push yourself out of the wheelchair. • Lean your upper body slightly forward as you move up an obstacle; do the reverse while moving down an obstacle. • Keep both hands on the handrims while passing over the obsta- cle. 6.4.11 CURBS AND STEPS • Curbs and steps are extremely dangerous obstacles. • NEVER attempt to go up or down a single curb or step without an assistant unless you are a very skilled rider of your chair. You need to have previously learned to safely do a wheelie in your chair and be sure of having the strength and balance to control your chair during any such maneuver. • ALWAYS unlock and rotate anti-tippers up and out of the way so they do not prevent you from executing this maneu- ver. • NEVER attempt to climb or descend a curb or step more than 4” (10 cm) high. • ALWAYS go straight up or down a curb or step. NEVER climb or descend at an angle. • ALWAYS be aware that the impact of dropping down from a curb or step can damage your chair or cause compo- nents to become loose. If you perform such maneuvers, inspect your chair more fre- quently. • ALWAYS rotate and lock the anti-tippers back to ride safely. 6.5 MOVING WITH ASSISTANCE Caregivers should read the 6.3 Caregivers section of this manual. 6.5.1 CLIMBING A CURB OR SINGLE STEP WARNING 1.

Use equipment that meets RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019 standards and use it according to the instructions. Use only original wheelchair parts and a recognized safety belt system. Use appropriate occupied transit anchor kit and according to instructions. Avoid using the wrong equipment or attaching other equip- ment to the wheelchair. The following information pertains to Motion Composites wheel- chairs equipped with a factory-installed RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019 occupied transit anchor kit. Read this manu- al completely before using the wheelchair with the occupied transit anchor kit in a motor vehicle. If you have any questions about this manual or about using your wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle, contact your Motion Composites Rehab Specialist. WARNING AVOID IMPROPER USE OF THIS EQUIPMENT. AVOID ATTACHING ANY OTHER EQUIP- MENT, OTHER THAN THOSE DESCRIBED IN THIS MANUAL, TO A MOTOR VEHICLE. 1. INTRODUCTION Motion Composites wheelchair is available with an occupied anchor kits conforming to the requirements of RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019 for occupied transit. This option is only offered as a factory-installed option. The occupied transit anchor kits option has been tested in accor- dance with RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 (“WC19”) frontal impact test and also tested in accordance with ISO 7176-19:2019, with a 169.4-lb. (77 kg) surrogate occupant to be compliant with a user weight range of 23 to 120 kg (51 to 265 lb). The Motion Compos- ites occupied transit anchor kits meet these standards to enable wheelchairs to be more appropriately secured in a paratransit vehicle. The occupied transit anchor kits options consist of four mounting brackets factory-installed on the wheelchair. Only use the designated anchor points to secure the wheelchair to the vehicle. In some markets, the kits may be offered with an optional wheel- chair anchored pelvic safety belt. Always use this optional belt with the vehicle anchored chest safety belt. The optional wheelchair anchored is only available for purchase from Motion Composites and only available as a Motion Composites factory-installed option. If this option is not present, always use the vehicle anchored three- point safety belt. NEVER rely on a positioning belt during occupied transit. The option is approved for use in occupied transit use. Therefore, users of the occupied transit option should keep several considerations in mind. First, the tests are conducted in manner where the wheelchair is secured in a forward-facing position for a frontal collision at 30 mph (48 km/h). The standards do not test for wheelchair performance in any other type of collision, including, without limitation, side impacts, rear impacts, rollovers, or higher speed frontal impacts. Second, compliance with either standard does not guarantee that the occupant will not be injured, even in a frontal impact collision at 48 km/h (30 mph) or less. In such an impact, the forces experienced are very large and injuries can occur, even if the wheelchair performs exactly as required by the standards. As a result, Motion Composites always recommends that the wheel- chair user should transfer to the motor vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed restraint system whenever it is feasible. A wheelchair UNOCCUPIED transit option is also available on the market for some Motion Composites wheelchairs. This UNOCCU- PIED wheelchair transit option has not been crash-tested. This wheelchair transit option only includes four tiedown brackets. This option shall be used only for transiting an UNOCCUPIED wheel- chair. If you are not certain that an occupied transit anchor kit is installed on your wheelchair, please contact Motion Composites customer service. Kindly contact Motion Composites customer service with any questions you may have regarding the use of this wheelchair for occupied transit in a motor vehicle at the following number: 1 866 650-6555. DO NOT have your wheelchair altered in any way by a non-autho- rized Motion Composites center. DO NOT make alterations or substitutions to the wheelchair structural parts or frame components without consulting Motion Composites. 2.

DEFINITION ISO International Organization for Standardization ANSI American National Standards Institute RESNA Rehabilitation Engineering and Assistive Technology Society of North America OCCUPIED TRANSIT ANCHOR KIT A wheelchair-mounted kit that allows the wheelchair to be an- chored in a motor vehicle. Motion Composites' occupied transit anchor kit options consist of four mounting brackets factory-installed on the wheelchair. In some markets, the kits may be offered with an optional wheelchair anchored pelvic safety belt. Always use this optional belt with the vehicle anchored chest safety belt. If this option is not present, always use the vehicle anchored three-point safety belt. NEVER rely on a positioning belt during occupied transit. Only use the designat- ed anchor points to secure the wheelchair to the vehicle. WHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS (WTORS) Equipments installed in a motor vehicle that allows a wheelchair and/or its occupant in the wheelchair to be anchored in the motor vehicle to restrict the movement of the occupant in case of a motor vehicle accident. The equipment consists of a system or device for securing the wheelchair and a belt-type restraint. Motion Compos- ites occupied transit anchor kits are compatible only with four-point strap-type tiedown systems. ANCHOR POINTS Specific structural points on the wheelchair base or seat frame that are designed for attachment of a WTORS. These anchor points are indicated by anchor points labels. 4. PROTOCOLS AND PROCEDURES The wheelchair user should always transfer into the vehicle seat and use the motor vehicle installed restraint system whenever feasible. The wheelchair should then be stored and secured in the vehicle. If the user deems it necessary to make a transit while occupying the wheelchair, the vehicle must be equipped with wheel- chair tiedown and occupant restraint systems (WTORS) previously installed, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions, and in compliance with RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019 standard. The wheelchair must be equipped with the occupied tran- sit anchor kit, in accordance with RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019 standard. It is essential to use a complete WTORS four-point strap-type tiedown and occupant restraint kit to secure the wheelchair to the vehicle and provide the wheelchair occupant with a safe and an approved restraint system. The wheelchair tiedown and occupant restraint systems (WTORS) must be used to protect the wheelchair occupant and minimize the risk of injury due to contact with the vehicle during a collision or sudden braking. 5. SECURING THE WHEELCHAIR NOTE: In addition to following the general guidelines below, make sure you follow all recommendations and instructions provided by the WTORS manufacturer. Always secure the wheelchair and occupant in a forward-facing position in the vehicle. Secure the four strap-type tiedowns only at the designated anchor points. These occupied transit anchor points are indicated by an- chor symbols on the wheelchair. See figure 1and 2. Figure 1. Anchor Points Location FRONT OF VEHICLE Figure 2 Anchor Points !

NOTE: If you ignore these warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in the manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and damage the wheelchair. 28 The Motion Composites occupied transit anchor kits are intended to be used with hook-type tiedown end-fittings. Tighten the four strap- type tiedowns to remove slack in each of them. Do not over-tighten. Never attach any tiedown hook to any other part of the wheelchair than the four anchor points. Attach only one tiedown strap per anchor point. Position the vehicle tiedown mounting points for the rear tiedown straps directly in line with the rear wheelchair anchor points on the wheelchair. The front tiedown straps mounting points must be positioned wider than the wheelchair front anchor points to provide increased lateral stability. See figure 3. Figure 3. Securing the Wheelchair FRONT OF VEHICLE 6. SECURING THE WHEELCHAIR OCCUPANT Once the wheelchair has been properly secured, it is essential that the wheelchair occupant be secured for transit. Both the pelvic and chest belts restraint should be adjusted as snugly as possible consistent with user comfort. Belts webbing should not be worn or twisted in a manner that reduce the area of contact of the belt webbing with the occupant when in use. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis angled between 45 and 75 degrees to the horizontal when viewed from the side. However, if the user cannot achieve this standard, an optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees can be utilized safely. Some wheelchair components, like armrests and wheels, can interfere with proper belt fit. It may be necessary to insert the belt between the armrest and the backrest or through openings between the backrest and seat in order to avoid placing the pelvic belt over the armrest. See figures 4 and 5. If a wheelchair anchored pelvic safety belt option is installed, this option is not meant to be removed from the chair. The Motion Composites wheelchair anchored pelvic belt is anchored to the rear occupied transit anchor point. Never alter the belt-restraint and/or wheelchair anchor points. 30˚ 45˚ 75˚ Preferred Zone Optimal Zone Figure 4. Recommended Pelvic Belt Placement Angles Figure 5. Proper Pelvic Belt Placement Pelvic restraints should make full contact across the front of the body near the junction of the thigh and pelvis. Belt restraints must not be held away from the body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels. The upper chest belt restraint should fit directly over, and in contact with, the middle of the shoulder of the occupant. See figure 6. The upper-torso belt anchor point should be anchored above and behind the top of the wheelchair occupant’s shoulder to ensure that the occupant is properly restrained during transit. If a wheelchair an- chored pelvic safety belt is used, place the vehicle anchored chest safety belt between the middle of the shoulder and the center of the chest, and connect to the pelvic belt near the hip of the wheelchair occupant on the opposed side of the upper vehicle anchor point and not near the midline of the occupant. Figure 6. Upper-Torso Belt Placement The buckle of belt restraint systems should not be located near wheelchair components. This may come in contact with the buckle release button in case of accident or collision. WARNING Although postural supports and wheel- chair positioning belts may be used in a moving vehicle, in addition to the vehicle's anchorage system, they should not be used to replace the vehicle's anchorage system designed and tested for this pur- pose, and should not interfere with the proper placement of the vehicle's seat belt.

NOTE: If you ignore these warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in the manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and damage the wheelchair. 30 Test Configuration of the current section. Any significant alteration or substitution to the wheelchair’s components or seating could significantly alter the chair’s perfor- mance during an impact. WARNING It is not recommended to install secure- ment point brackets, docking securement adapters and/or pelvic belt restraint an- chorages on the wheelchair after sale. Any installation or modification of an occupied transit anchor kit after sale must be made at the Motion Composites factory. WARNING Motion Composites expressly disclaims that use of its occupied transit anchor kit option on a Motion Composites wheelchair will prevent the wheelchair user from inju- ry or death in the event of a motor vehicle accident. WARNING Care should be taken when applying the occupant restraint to position the seatbelt buckle so that the release button will not be contacted by wheelchair components during a crash. WARNING Sufficient forward and rearward clear space should be provided around the wheelchair occupant in accordance with the current manual. WARNING The wheelchair user should always trans- fer into the vehicle seat and use the motor vehicle installed restraint system whenev- er feasible. The wheelchair should then be stored and secured in the vehicle. WARNING Do not use your Motion Composites wheel- chair with a WTORS unless the WTORS has been installed fully in accordance with the instructions of the manufacturer of the WTORS. WARNING Always attach the WTORS to your Motion Composites wheelchair at all four (4) of the Motion Composites occupied transit anchor kit option in accordance with the instructions provided by the manufactur- ers of the WTORS. WARNING Always position the wheelchair occupant restraint system (pelvic belts and upper chest belts), in accordance with the in- structions of the WTORS and wheelchair manufacturers. Use proper equipment. Use only as instructed. WARNING You must use your wheelchair in accor- dance with all warnings and instructions in this user manual. WARNING The back rest angle may be adjustable on your Motion Composites wheelchair. Motion Composites recommends using the same angle as the test wheelchair. Refer to section Refer to section 9. TEST CON- FIGURATION. Back supports should not be reclined to more than 30 degrees to the vertical during vehicle travel unless nec- essary for the postural and medical needs of the occupant. WARNING The use of postural pelvic belts attached to the wheelchair base or seat frame is encouraged during travel, but these belts should be positioned so that they don’t interfere with the proper positioning of crash worthy belt restraints. WARNING Postural support accessories, such as pelvic positioning belts, anterior trunk supports and lateral trunk supports, shall not be relied on for occupant restraint in a moving vehicle unless they are labeled in compliance with RESNA WC-4:2017, Section 19 or ISO 7176-19:2019.

31 T 1 866 650-6555 F 1 888 966-6555 Email [email protected] WARNING Whenever possible, other auxiliary wheel- chair equipment should be either effective- ly secured to the wheelchair or removed from the wheelchair and secured in the motor vehicle during travel so that such equipment does not break free and cause injury to the vehicle occupants in case of collision. WARNING In order to reduce the potential injury for vehicle occupants, it is recommended that no accessories be attached to the wheel- chair (trays and other accessories assem- bled on the wheelchair, such as IV stands, respiratory equipment, backpacks and other personal items, which are not specif- ically designed for safe paratransit). To prevent they break free and cause in- jury to vehicle occupants in the event of a collision, other accessories must be: 1. Removed and secured separately in the vehicle. OR 2. Secured to the wheelchair but posi- tioned away from the occupant with energy absorbing padded cushion placed between the accessory and the occupant. The weight on the wheelchair with the occupant and the accessories must not exceed 265 lbs. In the specific case of a tray, it should also be positioned with a gap of at least 3 in (75 mm) between the edge of the tray and the wheelchair occupant’s abdomen and/or chest so as not to interfere with proper belt-re- straint use. However, Motion Composites does not test with such accessories. It is the user’s responsibility to verify the validity of their accessory and the secur- ing method recommended by the manu- facturer of the accessory. WARNING If a head and neck support is required during an occupied transit, use a soft, light neck collar as they are less likely to cause neck injury in an accident. Do not secure the neck collar to the wheelchair or seat- ing system. WARNING The wheelchair should by inspected by Motion Composites before reuse following involvement in any type of vehicle collision. WARNING Always allow for proper clear zones when securing an occupied wheelchair in a motor vehicle. The frontal clear zone (FCZ) is measured from the forward-most point on the occupant’s head and should mea- sure at least 26 in. (66 cm) if both a pelvic and upper-torso belt are used. The frontal clear zone (FCZ) should measure at least 37.5 in. (95 cm) if only a pelvic restraint. Motion Composites strongly recommend that both pelvic and upper-torso belts be used. See figure 7. WARNING Allow as much clearance as possible around the wheelchair occupant to reduce the possibility of contact with vehicle com- ponents and other passengers in case of an accident. NOTE: The recommended frontal clear zone may not be possible for seated wheelchair drivers. The rear clear zone (RCZ) is measured from the rearmost point of the occupant’s head and should be at least 20 in. (50 cm). See figure 3. The seated head height (HHT) ranges from 47 in. (120 cm) for a short adult to 61 in. (155 cm) for a tall adult. See figure 7. Figure 7 HHT FCZ RCZ FCZ RCZ FCZ = FRONTAL CLEAR ZONE RCZ = REAR CLEAR ZONE HHT = SEATED HEAD HEIGHT CENTER WARNING All vehicle components that cannot be re- moved from the clear zones of Figure 3, or that near the wheelchair occupant space at a level that may me contacted by a wheel- chair occupant’s head during a side-impact collision or vehicle rollover, should be padded with material that complies with FMVSS 201.

NOTE: If you ignore these warnings or fail to inspect or maintain your wheelchair as directed in the manual, you may fall, tip over or lose control of the wheelchair and seriously injure yourself or others and damage the wheelchair. 32 WARNING Back-support height should be set to achieve maximum engagement with the scapula (shoulder blade) and a head support should be used when possible to ensure maximum safety benefits.
