Place the upper-torso belt across the middle of the shoulder
and the center of the chest, and connect to the pelvic belt that
is secured to the fl oor of the vehicle.
See fi gure 16.
WARNING! The uppertorso belt webbing should
not be worn twisted in a manner that reduces
the area of contact of the belt with the occupant.

The upper-torso belt anchor point should be anchored above
and behind the top of the power chair occupant’s shoulder
to ensure that the occupant is properly restrained during
transport. Both the pelvic and upper-torso belt restraints
should be adjusted as snugly as possible consistent with user
comfort.
WARNING! The buckle of belt restraint systems
should not be located near power chair
components that may come in contact with the
buckle release button in the event of a vehicle
accident or collision.

If your power chair is equipped with a crash-tested pelvic
belt that is anchored to the seat frame, complete the restraint
system by attaching the lower end of the WTORS upper-torso
belt to the pelvic belt by referring to the WTORS manufacturer’s
instruction. Crash-tested power chair-anchored pelvic belts
will be labeled to indicate compliance to the ANSI/RESNA
WC/Vol 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards.
