V. SET UP & USE OF YOUR WHEELCHAIR
B. Transit Use
It is always safest to transfer out of your wheelchair onto a seat in a motor vehicle with appropriate
seat and shoulder belts. Never use this wheelchair as a seat in a motor vehicle unless it has
been equipped with the Transit Option.
The Little Wave Clik Series 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 Little Wave Clik Series wheelchairs are compatible with the Transit
Option. Ki Mobility manages the configuration and does not offer the Little Wave Clik Series
wheelchair except in compatible configurations. If you make changes to your Little Wave Clik
Series wheelchair after your 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.
If your Little Wave Clik Series wheelchair is equipped with the Heavy Duty Option and the Transit
Option you should not use it as a seat in a motor vehicle if you weigh more than 125 lbs.
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 Little Wave Clik Series 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 125 lbs.
• 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.
• Attach wheelchair tie-downs to the four securement points (two front, two rear) on the Little
Wave Clik Series wheelchair with the Transit Option Fig. 1 in accordance with the
wheelchair tie-down manufacturer's instructions and RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 18 or
ISO 10542-1:2012 - Part 1.
