10 Basic Operation Instructions
Synergy Seat www.pridemobility.com
Motor Vehicle Transport
The Synergy Seat is not approved for use as a seat in a motor vehicle unless
the power base is equipped with a manufacturer-approved transit securement
system and the seat is labeled to show conformity to the standards of ANSI/
RESNA WC/Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19. Pride recommends that the
power chair user transfer into the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system if and whenever feasible. The power chair should then be
stored and secured in the vehicle. In addition, all removable power chair
parts, including the armrests, seat, front riggings, controller, and shrouds
should be removed and properly secured during motor vehicle transport.
WARNING! The Synergy Seating System is not approved for
use as a seat in any vehicle unless it has been tested and
approved for occupied use according to ANSI/RESNA WC/
Vol. 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards. Use the seats
and occupant restraints provided by the manufacturer of
the vehicle. If your power chair is equipped with a
manufacturer-installed transit securement system, please
refer to the supplemental safety information provided with
your power chair.
The steel brackets mounted to the front and rear of the Synergy Seating
System (see figure 2) can provide securement points when full disassembly
and stowage of the power chair is not feasible. These brackets should only
be used with an unoccupied power chair that is secured by an approved
securement system in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Pride makes no representation of suitability for use with specific securement
systems nor can we anticipate the various situations that might arise in use
of public transportation systems. For detailed instructions on the use of
securement systems, refer to the manufacturer of the system used.
WARNING! The Synergy securement brackets are for
unoccupied use only. The power chair occupant must
transfer into the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed
restraint system during motor vehicle transport.
When securing the power chair for unoccupied transport, adhere to the
following precautions:
„ Always ensure that the power chair motors are in drive mode (drive
engaged) and that the power chair controller is turned off.
„ Secure the power chair in a forward-facing position in the vehicle.
„ Attach tie-down straps (front and rear) only to the provided securement
points. Tighten the straps to sufficiently remove all slack.
