You must use both pelvic-belt restraints and shoulder-belt restraints. Make
sure that the belt restraints are as tight as possible, without becoming
uncomfortable, and that they are not twisted. They must be close to your
body and not held away by parts of the wheelchair. Adjust your restraint
system such that the release mechanisms cannot be pressed during a crash.
The shoulder-belt restraint should be worn over the shoulder. The pelvic-belt
restraint should be worn low across the pelvis and within the preferred zone
of 30° to 75°. It is desirable to have a steeper angle within the preferred zone.
Make sure that the wheelchair is not lifted or tilted. The wheelchair must be
in the position shown in the image.
