WARNING - Improper positioning of feet may result in
accident or injury. Please consult your dealer for proper
strap adjustment.
14.16 Padded Calf Strap (Optional)
The calf strap is positioned behind the occupant’s
lower calves to prevent the legs and/or feet slipping
backwards. Adjust the hook-and-loop strap to obtain
the desired length of strap to correctly position the
feet on the footrest.
WARNING— improper positioning of feet may result in
accident or injury. Please consult your dealer for proper
strap adjustment.
14.17 Headrest (Optional)
If your chair does not have a rigid backrest cushion,
it may be fitted with a head rest mounting on the
push bar handle. Otherwise, the head rest will be
mounted directly to the rigid backrest.
Removing the Headrest
1. Loosen the “Headrest Height Adjustment Set
Screw” and slide the head rest assembly
upwards until it is free of the chair (see Figure
14.45).
2. To reinstall the headrest assembly, slide the
headrest assembly back in to the desired
position and retighten the “Headrest Height
Adjustment Set Screw”.
Adjusting the Headrest Position
1. Refer to the manufacturer’s headrest manual
to adjust the headrest position.
14.18 Postural Support Devices or Lap Belts (Optional)
WARNING- The lap belt is intended for use ONLY as a positioning aid for simple
positioning needs, such as posterior pelvic tilt. The positioning belt IS NOT a transit
restraint.
This belt will not be sufficient for persons with more involved positioning needs. Only
your health care advisor can determine the proper positioning products for your
situation. If used improperly, lap belts can cause severe injury or even death. If your
health care advisor has instructed you to use lap belts, ensure they instruct you on the
proper usage of such belts, and such professional should supervise your use of such belts
to ensure you can use them safely.
1. Belts must fit snugly in order to work properly. However, they must not be so snug
that they interfere with the occupants breathing. It should be possible to slide an
open hand flat between the belt and body.
