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 Rogue ALX Series / Little Wave 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 Rogue ALX Series / Little Wave Series wheelchairs are compatible with
the Transit Option. Ki Mobility manages the configuration and does not offer the Rogue ALX Series /
Little Wave Series wheelchair except in compatible configurations. If you make changes to your
Rogue ALX Series / Little Wave 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 Rogue ALX Series / Little Wave 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 Rogue ALX Series / Little Wave 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.
