V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
B. Transit Use
WARNING:
Never use this wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle unless it has been equipped
with the Transit Option. It is always safest to transfer out of your wheelchair onto a seat in a
motor vehicle with appropriate seat and shoulder belts. Using this wheelchair as a seat in a
motor vehicle, if not equipped with the transit option, could result in serious injury or death.
The Liberty FT 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 Liberty FT wheelchairs are compatible with the Transit Option. Ki
Mobility manages the configuration and does not offer the Liberty FT wheelchair except in
compatible configurations. If you make changes to your Liberty FT 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 Liberty FT 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 250 lbs (113 kg).
• 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.
• The rider must use a Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint System that complies
with RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 18: Wheelchair tie-down and occupant restraint
systems for use in motor vehicles or ISO 10542-1:2012 Technical systems and aids for
disabled or handicapped persons -- Wheelchair tie-down and occupant-restraint systems
-- Part 1: Requirements and test methods for all systems.
