To clamp the quick release fastener:

1.  Make sure the lever is in the open position.

2.  Turn the nut clockwise until it is snug.

3.  Rotate the lever until it is in the fully closed position. 

NOTE: If the lever will not rotate to the fully closed

position, then turn the nut anticlockwise one-quarter

or one-half turn.

Foot Platform Angle Adjustment

You can adjust the angle of the foot platform with a

socket or spanner. 

To adjust the foot platform angle:

1. Flip up the foot platform and locate the screw. See

figure 23.

2. Turn the screw to raise or lower the front of the

foot platform.

Positioning Belt

Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning

belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fig-

ure 24. The positioning belt is designed to support the

operator so that he/she does not slide down or forward

in the seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use

as a restraining device.

To install the positioning belt on a Contour Seat:

1. Remove the rearmost screw that holds the seat

hinge to the seat base on both the left and right seat

hinges.

2. Insert the screw through the supplied washer,

through the positioning belt and into the seat base

for each side of the power chair seat.

3. Tighten both screws.

1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.  

MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the power chair and is

adjusted for operator comfort before each use.

MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose or damaged parts before each use of the

power chair. If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for maintenance

and repair.
