Positioning the user in the seat
• Place the user in an upright, 90° seated position (if physiologically possible).
• Ensure that the back is up against the backrest padding (if physiologically possible).
• Applies only to upper body straps/vests, chest/shoulder straps:
– Ensure that the height of the backrest on the product is adjusted correctly. The top of the backrest must be
at the height of the shoulders.
– The belt system is intended to support the area of the upper body (breastbone) from the front. The upper
and lower straps have to be adjusted as needed.
– Ensure that the positioning system is not too close to the throat. Otherwise the upper straps have to be
readjusted.
Possible positioning errors
• The user's hips are not secured with a separate lap belt (see Page68).
• If the positioning system is too loose, the user can shift forward/slide down.
• The positioning system collides with devices, accessories or supply hoses during installation and adjustment,
restricting their functionality.
• Applies only to upper body straps/vests, chest/shoulder straps:
– The positioning system is too close to the throat, endangering the user.
– The positioning system makes contact with the user in the area of the soft part of the stomach (too low).
Adjusting the belt length
Notes on correct adjustment are found in the instructions for use included with the belt system.
