Options - Pelvic Restraint Belt continued
When fastened check space between the pelvic restraint
belt and user. When correctly adjusted it should not be
possible to insert more than the flat of the hand between
the pelvic restraint belt and the user, (Fig. 59).
The pelvic restraint belt should be fixed so that the belt
sits at an angle of 45 degrees across the user's pelvis.
The user should be upright and be as far back as possible
in the seat when correctly adjusted. The pelvic restraint
belt should not allow the user to slip down in the seat,
(Fig. 60).

the two halves gently apart, (Fig.62).
