Never use your wheelchair alone if the anti-tip devices are
not in the drive position.
5.7.3. REINSTALLING
1. To reinstall the anti-tips, insert the tube into its housing and press lightly. There
should be a small click, indicating that the anti-tip is in place (see Figure 24-A;
section 4.8.1).
2. Finally, check that the anti-tip is securely locked in place by trying to pull it out of
the housing and turning it.
5.8. SEAT BELT
Figure 38-A: Belt length adjustment.
Figure 38-B: To prevent the belt from slipping.
Your belt can be attached in the pelvic or femoral position (see Figure 38-C).
For your comfort and safety, make sure that the belt
provided with the wheelchair is adjusted to your waist.
To adjust the belt length, slide the strap through the
plastic loops, making sure that the belt moves in the
direction shown in Figure 38-A.
NOTE:
The free end must always extend from the plastic
loop by three inches (3 in.).
To keep the belt from slipping, reinsert the free end
into the loop, as shown in Figure 38- B.
Any modifications to your belt's assembly or
attachments must be made by a health care
professional.
