Positioning Belt

Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure

22. 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.

WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle unless

your power chair is equipped and properly secured with a manufacturer-installed transit

securement package. Nor is your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone

traveling in a vehicle should be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.

To install the positioning belt:

1. Insert the screw through the washer and the mounting tab at the end of the positioning belt. See figure 22.
2. Install the screw through the steel spacer, washer, and then the seatback including the large zinc spacer.
3. Install the washer and nut to the assembly, and then tighten the nut using two adjustable spanners.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other side.

NOTE: If your power chair is equipped with an optional seating system, please refer to the user manual
provided with the seat for instruction on positioning belt installation or contact your authorised Pride Provider.

To adjust the positioning belt:

1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt into the plastic housing on the opposite side until you

hear a click.

2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.

To release the positioning belt:

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 authorised Pride Provider for maintenance

and repair.
