7.6 LapBelt
WARNING
Riskofinjuryduetoimproperuseoflapbelt. The lap
belt helps to additionally stabilise the person sitting in the
power wheelchair. The lap belt must never be used as
part of a restraint system for transportation of the person
in wheelchair accessible vehicles.
The B400 can be equipped with a lap belt. The lap belt
serves exclusively as a safety belt when driving the power
wheelchair.
To apply the lap belt, insert the two buckle halves into each
other until they lock in place g. 27). The belt buckle must
snap in place audibly. Then, verify that the belt has locked
by trying to pulling it apart. The lap belt should not be too
tight on the body. Objects caught under the belt can cause
painful pressure sores.
To open the lap belt, press the red release button.
The belt length can be adjusted on both sides. To set the
length, position both buckle halves in the middle of the body.
After positioning the buckle halves at a right angle in relation
to the belt, their position can be varied. Any excessive belt
length will be held in place by the plastic slides.
