using the lap belt
The lap belt is to restrain the
wheelchair occupant during normal
use. The lap belt is not be used as a
seat belt in a motor vehicle. Under
no circumstances should the Travel
Chair be used as a seat in a motor
vehicle (e.g. cars, buses, trains, etc).
The lap belt comes as standard with
the TC001, TC002 and LAWC002.
It is available as an option on the
LAWC001.
The lap belt should be adjusted to
suit each user. The length of the
belt can be adjusted by the tri-
glides (as shown in the diagram
above). The lap belt has a luggage-
style large locking clip to fasten and
unfasten the lap belt.
To fasten the lap belt, push the clip
in to the receiver until it locks in the
position (which can be heard by an
audible click).
When fastened, the lap belt should
be tight around the user’s pelvis
without causing discomfort or
undue pressure. This will help keep
the user’s hips and pelvis towards
the back of the wheelchair. Use the
tri-glides (shown) to adjust the
length of the lap belt. The length of
the lap belt should be checked each
time the belt is used.
There is a risk of suffocation from
users ‘submarining’ (where they
slide down the chair until the lap
belt is around the neck area). To
reduce the risk of this, ensure that
the lap belt is used under
supervision and is used as
instructed.
The lap belt may not be suitable for
all users of wheelchairs. Seek
professional medical advice before
using the lap belt.
brake operation
To apply the parking brakes, push the handle on the brake unit until locked
in place. To release the brake, push the handle in the opposite direction.
Always apply the brakes when the wheelchair is stationary.
