Q R I
WARNING
Contact Sunrise Medical Customer Service (800-333-
4000) with any questions about using this wheelchair for
seating in a motor vehicle.
When feasible, wheelchair occupants should transfer into
the vehicle seat and use the OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) vehicle-installed restraint system.
This wheelchair has been dynamically tested in a for-
ward-facing mode with the specified crash test dummy
restrained by both pelvic and upper-torso belt(s) (shoul-
der belts), and both pelvic and upper-torso belt(s)
should be used to reduce the possibility of head and
chest impacts with vehicle components.
Use only Wheelchair Tie-down and Occupant Restraint
Systems (WTORS) which meet the requirements of the
SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) J2249
Recommended Practice during travel in a motor vehicle.
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor
vehicle with the factory installed seating system only.
This wheelchair must be in a forward facing position
during travel in a motor vehicle.
Chairs ordered with the transit system are equipped
and have been dynamically tested to rely on wheelchair-
anchored pelvic belts. If desired, vehicle-anchored pelvic
belts may be used.
It is strongly recommended that both pelvic and upper-
torso belt(s) be used to reduce the risk of injury.
To reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants,
wheelchair-mounted accessories, including but not limit-
ed to IV poles, trays, respiratory equipment, backpacks,
and other personal items should be removed and
secured separately.
Postural supports, positioning devices, and/or strap(s)
should not be relied on for occupant restraint. These
items may be used in addition to the wheelchair
anchored or vehicle-anchored belts.
Wheelchairs with adjustable seat angles should be set to
10°. Do not alter or substitute wheelchair frame parts,
components, or seating systems.
A sudden stop and/or collision may structurally damage
your wheelchair. Wheelchairs involved in such incidents
should be replaced.
PROHIBITED!
Do not modify your wheelchair in any way not authorized by Sunrise
Medical. Do not make alterations or substitutions to wheelchair struc-
tural parts or frame components without consulting Sunrise Medical.
Contact Sunrise Medical Customer Service at (800)-333-4000 to deter-
mine if an existing Quickie QRi can be fitted with a T ransit System.
Only use the transit brackets included with your
Quickie chair for the purposes described in this manual.
A. ABOUT TRANSPORT READY PACKAGES
The Quickie QRi WCIS Transit System includes four factory-installed
transport brackets and a wheelchair anchored pelvic belt system
which can be purchased separately.
The Quickie QRi (265 lbs. weight capacity) have been crash-
tested in accordance with ANSI/RESNA WC Vol 1 Section 19
Front Impact Test requirements for wheelchairs with a 172 lbs.
(78kg) crash dummy.
As of this date, the Department of Transportation has not approved
any tie-down systems for transportation of a user while in a wheel-
chair, in a moving vehicle of any type. It is Sunrise Medical's position
that users of wheelchairs should be transferred into appropriate seat-
ing in vehicles for transportation and the restraints made available by
the auto industry be used. Sunrise Medical cannot and does not rec-
ommend any wheelchair transportation systems.
