IV. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure
23. The positioning belt is designed to support the operator so that he/she does not slide down or forward in the
seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining device.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should
be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer. If your power chair is
equipped with a manufacturer-installed transit securement system, please refer to the
supplemental safety information provided with your power chair.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Insert the screw through the washer and the mounting tab at the end of the positioning belt. See figure 23.
2. Install the screw through the steel spacer, washer and the seatback, including the large zinc spacer.
3. Install the washer and nut to the assembly, and then tighten the nut using two adjustable spanners.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other side.
NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with an optional seating system, please refer to the user manual
provided with the seat for instruction on positioning belt installation or contact your Quantum Rehab Dealer.
To adjust the positioning belt:
1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt into the plastic housing on the opposite side until you
hear a click.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
To release the positioning belt:
1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the power chair and is
adjusted for operator comfort before each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose or damaged parts before each use of the power
chair. If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Dealer for maintenance and repair.
