Adjustment
When the belt is properly adjusted and tightened, it should t snug so that the user’s pelvis is secure. See Figure 7-9.
If length adjustment is necessary to achieve a good t or to remove the belt for cleaning, this can be done using the
belt end ttings.
Safety Check
When properly positioned in the wheelchair, the wheelchair user should lean forward and side to side to check the t.
Check for:
1. Normal operation of adjustment straps.
2. Comfort: look for areas of irritation.
3. Position: if too high or too low, adjust anchor points.
4. Interference with other devices: relocate anchor points as necessary.
5. Move chair through full range of motion, including folding, and rolling. Check for any interference.
Maintenance
Check periodically for signs of wear in the stitching and webbing. If signicant wear is found, contact your supplier for
qualied repair or replacement by TiLite.
