Vehicle-Anchored Belts; Seating System; Positioning Belts - Quickie QRI Mode D'emploi

Q R I
F. VEHICLE-ANCHORED BELTS
These wheelchairs have an overall rating of "A" with regard to
accommodating the use and fit of vehicle-anchored belts. This rat-
ing is scored as follows:
A = Excellent
B = Good
C = Fair
D = Poor
The test for Lateral Stability Displacement for Point (P) is shown in
the figure below. The average test result for point (P) is:
• Quickie QRi = 13.0mm Grade "B"
Point (P)
Test Platform
45°
NOTE: Rear view of the wheelchair and human surrogate secured on test
platform and tilted to 45°.
G. SEATING SYSTEM
WARNING
This wheelchair has been tested for seating in a motor
vehicle with the factory installed seating system only.
Ensure that the factory installed seating system is
secured to the wheelchair frame before operation.
Refer to the seating system owner's manual.
H. POSITIONING BELTS
The angle of the pelvic belt should be within the preferred
zone of 45 to 75 degrees to the horizontal or within the
optional zone of 30 to 45 degrees to the horizontal.
Steeper side-view pelvic belt angles are especially important if the
pelvic belt is intended to be used for postural support in addition to
occupant restraint in a frontal crash. Steeper angles will reduce the
tendency for a vertical gap to develop between the user and the
belt due to compliance of seat cushions and belt movement, there-
by reducing the tendency for the user to slip under the belt and for
the belt to ride up on the soft abdomen during normal use.
Steeper belt angles also reduce the tendency for upper-torso belts to
pull the pelvic belt onto the abdomen during frontal impact loading.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to the figure below.
1. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the
pelvis.
2. Position the upper-torso belt(s) over the shoulders.
3. The belt(s) should not be held away from the body by wheel-
chair components or parts, including but not limited to
wheelchair armrests or wheels.
4. Ensure the belt(s) are not twisted.
5. Adjust belts as firmly as possible, being mindful of user comfort.
