
Adjust the lower ends of the chest harness first�

Open the lower tighteners on the hard shell back
or under the seat� To do so, simply pull hard on the
free end of the belt webbing and the tightener will
open automatically�

Pull the belt webbing to the desired length on one
side�

Hold the belt webbing in this position�

Then close the flap on the tightener until it lies flat
against the fixed part of the tightener�

Repeat this procedure to adjust the other side�

Repeat these steps to adjust the upper ends of the
chest harness�

Adjust these via the upper tighteners on the hard
back of the seat shell� The procedure is identical
as for the lower ends of the chest harness�
Important!
Ensure correct strap arrangement�
Straps arranged too closely around the
neck lead to a risk of strangulation� If the straps
are arranged too loosely around the shoulders,
the straps could slip off the patient's shoulders;
the patient is then no longer secured and could
fall out of the chair, resulting in possible injury�
Important!
The patient must always be secured and
under observation at all times�
Strap guide plates
Strap guide plates are used to optimally adjust the
chest harness for each patient� These allow individual
adjustment of the strap guide� The strap guide plates
are already mounted ex-works to the upper, inner
edges of the back�
Important!
If strap guide plates are present, always
use these for correct strap guidance� To
do this, pull the straps on the right and left through
the provided slot in the center of the plates and
then lock the strap in the clip buckle� Make sure
that the straps are not twisted or knotted�
The correct height of the straps is to be adjusted as
follows:

Loosen the two screws on the strap guide plates
with an Allen key�

Push the plate upwards or downwards into the
best position�

Tighten all screws again with an Allen key�

Check strap arrangement on the patient�

Readjust, as necessary�

Reclining supports with Velcro fastening
Reclining supports are shaped to the patient, starting
from the top� These pass from the edge of the shell over
the collar bone� The pressure of reclining supports
passes from the upper ribcage parallel to the sternum
further outwards, upwards and to the back� This pres-
sure helps the patient when erecting the pectoral belt�
Reclining supports are screwed firmly to the back of
the shell and are rotated sidewards using the lock, this
allows for easy transfer of the user�
Lateral side supports
Lateral side supports support the torso symmetrically,
or displaced the spine accordingly, for example, in case
of an S-scoliosis� Various versions of lateral side sup-
ports allow individual adaptation to the patient's needs�
For example, permanently fitted lateral side supports
are customized to the patient's need on delivery� Ad-
justable lateral side supports can be fitted directly on
site� The mounting for the adjustable lateral side sup-
ports is on the hard edge of the rear back part�
It is best to adjust the lateral side supports with the
patient seated in the chair� In order to achieve an ideal
level of support, adjust one side first and then the other�
