Safety Instructions
To avoid injury, read, understand and follow all instructions and warnings in this manual before installing
and using the Spex Lateral Trunk Support. There are hazards associated with the use of wheelchairs and
adaptive equipment. If you misuse your wheelchair or your Lateral Trunk Support you can be seriously
injured. If your Lateral Trunk Support ceases to function as intended, please consult your authorized Spex
seating supplier immediately before continuing to use. Any serious incident that has occurred in relation
to this product should be reported to Spex Ltd.
The foam and fabric meets the ammability requirements of California Technical Bulletin 117. In rare cases
the fabrics used in this product may cause a skin irritation for people with sensitive skin. If you experience
any reddening or itching of the skin consult with your health care professional.
Disclaimer: Spex takes no responsibility as to the therapeutic eectiveness of our products. Our
claims relate to the ability of the products to provide safe and reliable positioning and seating on the
equipment onto which they are installed.
1. Lateral brackets shipped out disassembled and with brackets attached loosely. It is the install-
ers responsibility to ensure all hardware is installed correctly and tightened before using the
wheelchair.
2. Installation and adjustment of your Laterals should be performed only by an authorized dealer
or qualied therapist.
3. Laterals must not be modied or changed as this voids warranty.
4. Only use genuine Spex accessories, components and hardware.
5. Never lift the wheelchair by the Laterals.
6. Never use the Laterals if any hardware is missing, malfunctioning, or broken. Seek qualied as-
sistance with any repairs, replacements or adjustments.
7. A poorly tted Lateral can aggravate posture problems and the overall safety of the user.
8. The user must not put excessive force against the Lateral.
9. When swinging away the Lateral, ensure the user is supported by a caregiver prior to avoid the
user falling from the wheelchair.
10. Be aware of the pinch points of the swing-away pivot points. Ensure all body parts are kept
clear during these movements and adjustments.
11. The Lateral locking mechanism must be correctly locking at all times. If it stops locking do not
use the equipment.
12. Spex Lateral Supports must be used in conjunction with a stabilized pelvis with hip belt tted.
13. If the user has signicant or forceful leaning to one side, a complete postural evaluation must
be undertaken to ascertain the correct wheelchair seating set-up prior to installing Lateral Sup-
ports.
14. Do not use Spex Lateral Supports or mechanisms for purposes that they are not designed for.
15. Care must be taken when undertaking a user transfer from the seating system. The user may
fall from the wheelchair or injure themselves when supports are removed.
16. Never use the Lateral Support without its cover. Care should be exercised near open ame or
burning cigarettes. Using the Lateral Support without its cover increases the risk of ammabil-
ity and skin damage.

When using the Quick-Release Lateral Support in transit the detent pin must be engaged.
The Spex Seating System has been successfully crash tested and complies with RESNA WC-4:2012, Section
20 (WC20). The Spex Seating System meets the requirements of ISO 16840-4:2009 and is suitable for use
as a motor vehicle seat when used with an appropriate wheelchair base. Please follow all installation, use
and maintenance instructions within this manual as well as the following transit instructions. If feasible,
the wheelchair user should transfer to the vehicle seat and use the vehicle-installed occupant restraint
systems.
Spex Seating System has been designed to accommodate the proper use of vehicle-anchored belt restraints.
Spex achieved a rating of Excellent (16 out of 16), for ease of properly positioning a belt restraint, and the
degree to which proper belt restraint can be achieved, based on the methods of Annex D. The following
items of the Spex Seating System have been tested and are suitable for use in a motor vehicle:
Full Height Back Support Models
Seat Base
Cushion Models
Arm and Thigh Supports
Trunk Lateral Supports
Head Supports
Note: Back Supports that are lower than the user’s shoulder height are not certied and not recommended
for transport in a vehicle. Eg. Vigour Lo and Vigour Mid Back Supports.
Assembly, Use, Maintenance & Limitations
Adjustments to the set-up of the wheelchair must only be carried out by a qualied therapist,
professional, or seating technician. Custom contoured/bespoke systems may require a qualied
professional to congure and install the seating system.
After carrying out any adjustments ensure all bolts, screws and nuts are securely fastened again to
ensure safety when travelling in a vehicle.
Ensure the top and bottom mounts of the backrest and the front and rear mounts of the seat pan
are installed as far apart from each other as possible to give a stronger 4-point attachment to the
wheelchair frame. Ensure the quick release latches are engaged.
Do not use the Spex Seating System as a vehicle seat if seating components which have not been
successfully crash tested are used anywhere on the seating system. Spex Seating is designed and
certied using only Spex components. Spex is not liable in the event where other manufactured
seating systems are used in conjunction with Spex Seating.
At regular intervals check that all the fastenings on the Spex Seating System have not become loose
during day to day use and re-tighten if necessary.
Ensure the swing-away Laterals are in their locked position before using the seat as a vehicle seat in a
motor vehicle.

Correct Positioning of Belt Restraints
When using the Spex Seating System as a vehicle seat, both a pelvic-
belt restraint and shoulder-belt restraint must always be used. To
correctly position the belt restraints on the wheelchair occupant, the
following must be ensured:
The pelvic-belt restraint should be worn low across the front of
the pelvis near the junctions of the pelvis and thighs.
The angle of the pelvic-belt restraint should be between 30° to
75° relative to the horizontal and, ideally, between 45° to 75° to
the horizontal (as shown in Figure 2).
The belt-restraint buckle of three-point belt restraints should
be placed in contact with the occupant’s body and away from
wheelchair components.
The junction of the shoulder-belt and pelvic-belt of three-point-
belt restraints should be located near the hip opposite the
shoulder over which the diagonal belt crosses and not near the
midline of the occupant.
Belt restraints should not be routed outside of the wheelchair
wheels or over the wheelchair armrests, and should not be held
away from the body by wheelchair components or parts.
Upper torso belt restraints should t directly over, and in contact
with, the middle of the shoulder.
Belt restraints should be adjusted to t as snugly as possible,
consistent with user comfort.
Belt restraints should not be worn twisted in a manner that reduces
the area of contact of the belt webbing with the occupant.

The Spex Seating System must only be used for forward-facing
seating in motor vehicles.
In order to reduce the potential of injury to vehicle occupants,
wheelchair-mounted rigid trays not specically intended for use
during travel in motor vehicles must be:
a. Removed and secured separately in the vehicle or
b. Secured to the wheelchair so they will not break free in a crash
and
Be positioned with a gap of at least 3” (75 mm) between
the back edge of the tray and the wheelchair occupants

belt-restraint use, and
Have energy absorbing padding placed between the back
edge of the tray and the wheelchair occupant.
Alterations or substitutions must not be made to the seating
system structure, parts or components, without rst consulting
Spex.
The use of a postural pelvic belt attached to the wheelchair
base or seat frame is encouraged during travel, but these belts
should be positioned so that they don’t interfere with the proper
positioning of crashworthy belt restraints, and they should not be
relied on for occupant protection in crash situations unless the
postural belt has been designed to comply with, and perform to
the requirements of WC19.
Postural support devices that are not labelled as conforming to
ISO 16840-4 may be used when in a vehicle, but should not be
