Please follow the instructions below to use the pelvic belt for your safety.
4.11.1 How to Operate It
4.11.1.1 When you sit on the wheelchair, fasten the pelvic belt. (See Figure
4.39)
4.11.1.2 Adjust the belt and make it fit your body for comfort and safety.
4.11.1.3 The most comfortable way of using the pelvic belt is to keep it as 45
degrees. (Figure 4.40)
4.11.1.4 When you don't use it, please fasten the belt to avoid the belt
dropping into the rear wheels during motion.
ā Please kindly be advised that the pelvic belt should be fitted tightly
around the user's pelvis and be tightened until you can just get one
finger through between the pelvic belt and the user. Kindly check the
pelvic belt position is fitted to the place as we recommend. If it is not
able to be this way, please consult your supplier.
