A distinction is made between standard settings and daily adjustments to the seat unit. Changes to 
the  standard  settings  always  require  special  tools.  The  daily  settings  are  recognisable  from  the 
clamps, clips, quick release mechanisms, clasps and levers (see illustration 3). 

4.1 

Daily adjustments 

Several settings are adjusted continually during the daily use of the seat unit. These adjustments 
are required to lift the child in and out of the seat unit or to be able to change the seating position of 
the child somewhat when there is a need. No tools are required for the daily adjustments. 
 

4.1.1  

The parts to secure the child in position 

Various parts are available to secure the child’s trunk, pelvis and feet in position. A body harness 
and  a  chest  belt  can  be  used  to  secure  the  trunk.  The  hip  belt  and  leg  harness  can  be  used  to 
secure the pelvic and the ankle strap to secure the ankles. 
The parts are adjusted daily, but their settings need to be adjusted before initial use. The standard 
settings  and  daily  adjustments  of  the  various  parts  used  to  secure  the  child  in  position  are 
illustrated below. 
 

Illustration 3: Daily settings:

 

a)  The clasp 
b)  The clip (release mechanism) 
c)  The quick release mechanism 
d)  The clasp (length adjustment) 
e)  The lever

that 

you 

adopt 

comfortable  working  posture  when 
loosening  and  tightening  the  head 
screws 

and 

knobs. 

Once 

the 

adjustments have been made, properly 
tighten the head screws and knobs
