BodiLink Head Support Operation Manual
WARNINGS: Motor Vehicle Transportation:
- Failure to pay attention to these warnings could result
in severe injury to the individual in the wheelchair or to
others.
- Whenever possible, transfer out of your wheelchair
installed with BodiLink Supports and into a manufacturer-
installed vehicle seat, and use the vehicle's crash-tested
occupant restraint system.
- Children weighing less than 48½ lb. (22 kg) must be
transferred into an appropriate child-restraint system
intended for use in motor vehicles.
- ALWAYS store BodiLink Supports safely during transport
to avoid damage.
- If a BodiLink Support has been involved in an accident
during transport, see the "Inspection" section in this
manual.
- The motor vehicle safety information in this operation
manual applies to BodiLink Supports a) only when
correctly and securely installed, as instructed in this
manual; b) only with a wheelchair that complies with
the performance requirements of ISO 7176-19 and
that is installed, used, and maintained according to the
wheelchair manufacturer's instructions.
- The individual should be seated in an upright position and
the wheelchair should face forward during transportation
in a motor vehicle. BodiLink Supports have only been

Restraint System (WTORS), following the manufacturer's
instructions.
The Comfort Company seating system with a back support
and accessories, including BodiLink Supports, installed on
a surrogate wheelchair frame, has been dynamically tested
by a third-party testing facility for use in a motor vehicle,
and meets all applicable performance criteria in Section 5.1
of ANSI/RESNA WC-4:2012 Section 20 "Wheelchair Seating
Systems for Use in Motor Vehicles" and in 5.1 of ISO 16840-4
