Wheelchair-Anchored Pelvic Belt Restraint
(A crashworthy pelvic belt that is attached to the wheelchair
frame)
The Innova Wheelchair provides location for anchoring a pelvic belt, available separately from the manufacturer,
Sure-Lok. This belt has been tested in accordance with RESNA WC-4:2012, Section 18 and can be used in
conjunction with a vehicle anchored shoulder belt with a standard lower-anchorage connector for effective
crashworthy three-point restraint in a motor vehicle.
The pelvic belt has been designed to accommodate use on
either side of the vehicle. Each side of the belt has a metal pin
(Figure 6) which is used to secure the shoulder belt.
1. Using the transit belt restraint hardware, install the
wheelchair pelvic belt restraint to one side of the seat rail
at the appropriate location to achieve the desired belt
angle according to Figure 4.
2. Repeat Step 1 for the opposite side of the pelvic belt
restraint.
3. Attach the clip of the vehicle-anchored upper shoulder belt
(Figure 7) onto the metal pin of the pelvic belt restraint (Figure 8A) on the opposite side so that the shoulder belt
crosses the body of the wheelchair occupant as shown in Figure 8.
