We recommend that the belt is fitted quite tightly around the pelvis. Please tighten 
until you can just get your fingers between user and seat belt. Please check that the 
belt is fastened correctly as recommended. If this is not possible please consult your 
supplier.

Maintenance 

The Safety Belt is made from 100% polyester fibre and the clasp is made from 
plastic.    It  does  not  require  any  maintenance  but  should  be  inspected  every 
month to ensure that the edges are not frayed and weekly to make sure that it 
correctly  fits  the  user.  If  there  are  any  signs  of  deterioration,  please  replace  it 
immediately.
