4.31 Lap belt (Standard Seat)
The lap belt kit. (Fig. 4.14).
Fastening the lap strap:
Insert the 3 prong male buckle into the female buckle until
a click is heard
(Fig. 4.15)
To fit the lap strap.
Place the strap loosely across the seat with the buckle
•
closed.. (Fig. 4.16)
Pass the other ends of the strap through the gap
•
between the backrest posts and the backrest upholstery
as shown. (Fig. 4.17)
Ensure that the adjusters & buckles can be accessed &
•
the strap is not twisted. Fit the eyelet over the rearmost
bolt. Fit the plain washer, sprung washer & nut. Tighten
with a 13.0mm spanner. Repeat for the other side. (Fig.
4.18)
Ensure that the lap strap is tight enough to provide
•
comfortable support. A simple measure is to keep a
hands thickness between the body and lap strap. For
safety, check the tension on the lap strap at least once
day. (Fig. 4.19)
Generally, the lap belt should be fixed so that the
•
straps sit at an angle of approximately 45° (Fig. 4.20),
and when correctly adjusted should not allow the user
to slip down in the seat.
WARNING!
Ensure that the lap belt is secured and correctly
•
adjusted before use.
An incorrectly fitted/adjusted lap belt could allow the
•
user to slip down, potentially causing serious injury.
Inspect the lap belt at regular intervals for any signs of
•
fray or damage and replace as necessary.
When servicing, check for correct operation of the
•
release buckle and for any signs of wear on the material
or plastic brackets.
