WARNINGS
C.
Positioning
Belts
Positioning
belts
are
designed
to
assist
with
proper
positioning
within
the
wheelchair.
They
are
not
designed
as
seat
belts.
Use
positioning
belts
ONLY
to
help
support
the
user’s
posture.
Misuse
of
positioning
belts
may
cause
se
‐
vere
injury
to
or
death
of
the
user.
Ensure
the
user
does
not
slide
underneath
the
positioning
belt
in
the
wheelchair
seat.
If
this
occurs,
the
users
breathing
may
be
hampered
causing
death
or
serious
injury.
The
positioning
belt
should
have
a
snug
fit;
tight
enough
to
hold
their
posi
‐
tion,
but
not
so
tight
as
to
restrict
breathing.
You
should
be
able
to
slide
your
hand
between
the
positioning
belt
and
the
user.
NEVER
Use
Positioning

requires
a
doctor’s
order.
b)
On
a
user
who
is
unconscious.
c)
As
a
occupant
restraint
in
a
motor
vehicle.
A
positioning
belt
is
not
de
‐
signed
to
replace
a
seat
belt
that
is
attached
to
the
frame
of
a
vehicle,
which
would
be
required
of
an
effective
seat
belt.
During
a
sudden
stop,
with
the
force
of
the
stop,
the
user
would
be
thrown
forward.
Wheelchair
seat
belts
will
not
prevent
this,
and
further
injury
may
result
from
the
belts
or
straps.
DANGER:
Failure
to
comply
with
the
instruction
above
could
result
in
serious
injury
or
death.
