III. NOTICE - READ BEFORE USE
M. Transfers
WARNING: Be trained and ensure that you can transfer the client on your own or with a
person who can assist you. It is dangerous to transfer on your own as it requires good
balance and agility. Be aware there is a point during every transfer when the mobility base
seat is not below the client. Failure to perform a transfer properly can result in a fall that
could result in severe injury or death.
NOTE: Before transferring the client out of your mobility base every caution should be
taken to reduce the gap between the two surfaces.
1. Engage the wheel locks to lock the rear wheels.
2. Rotate the casters forward to increase the wheelbase of the mobility base.
3. Remove or swing away the footrests.
4. Have someone assist you unless you are well experienced and able in transfers.
N. Transit Use
WARNING: Never use your mobility base as a seat in a motor vehicle unless it has been
equipped with the transit option. It is always safest to transfer the rider out of your
mobility base onto a seat in a motor vehicle with appropriate seat and shoulder belts.
Using the mobility base as a seat in a motor vehicle, if not equipped with the transit option,
could result in serious injury or death.
The mobility base equipped with the transit option has been tested to and passed the RESNA
WC-4, Section 19: Wheelchairs used as seats in motor vehicles and ISO 7176-19 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 every mobility base configuration is compatible with the transit option. Ki Mobility manages
the configuration and does not offer this mobility base except in compatible configurations. If
you make changes to your mobility base after you receive it, you should contact your mobility
base provider or Ki Mobility to make sure it is appropriate to continue to use your mobility base
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 mobility base provider should tell you if the seating
they provided is original equipment or replacement aftermarket seating. A complete system of
mobility base 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 mobility base equipped with the transit option as a
seat in a motor vehicle.
