2.6.3 Safety equipment and options
- Safety standard equipment :
Posture belt (photo 37) : to close the buckle belt, engage
part (A) into part (B), to open press (C).
The posture belt is mounted on the backrest brackets.
Straps should be adjusted on both sides to suit user body,
thread the loop (D) through the mounting on the chair and
then through the two plastic buckles (E). It is important
that both buckles (E) are used. There is a danger the belt
might slip if the belt is threaded through only one.
If the belt has come loose at the metallic clasp it should be
adjusted, thread the loop (F) through the plastic buckle (G).
Please make sure that the belt cannot slide.
Position the posture belt so that the hip bones can be felt
above the belt. As a guide, adjust the length so that there
is just sufcient room for your hand to slide between your
body and the belt.
For ease of use it is recommended that the clasp is kept in
a central position where possible i.e. make adjustments to
each side of metal buckle belt with double adjuster. Please
check your posture belt every week, to ensure that it is
in good condition; no damage, fraying etc. and that it is
securely xed to the wheelchair.
In case the posture belt has to be replaced, the new
belt xation should be conform to the scheme enclosed
with each belt delivery; the belt should be mounted and
adjusted by your regular dealer.
Make sure that the belts do not get caught in the spokes of
the rear wheel.
Not to be used as an alternative to a 3-point occupant
restraint in a vehicle. A metal buckle posture belt must be
used in conjunction with the 3-point occupant restraint.
