lap belt is to ensure that the user is seated in their most comfortable, safe 
position. 
 

Adjustment of your lap belt 

Ensure that you are sitting back fully into the seat with the pelvis as upright as 
possible and not leaning to one side. 
Close the buckle and position the belt so that the hip bones can be felt above 
the lap belt. 
Adjust the strap length by pulling on the open end of the belt. As a guide, the 
belt should be adjusted so that there is sufficient room for two fingers to slide 
between your body and the belt. 
 

 

Warning: Should any damage occur to the lapbelt, please replace 
immediately.   
 
Fitting Footrests 

Ensure the footrests are correctly located on the pins as shown in the images 
below. Failure to locate the upper and lower pins correctly can cause the 
footrest to become loose or possibly damage the footrest.
