Installation and Use
Care and Cleaning
We recommend that all products be examined on a regular basis for wear and function.
Check the stitching on the webbing for stress or damage. If loose, frayed or broken parts
are discovered, discontinue use and contact your provider.
Repairs should only be
performed by a wheelchair service professional and with genuine Stealth Products parts,
fasteners or items appropriate for the service required.
Surfaces may be cleaned with a damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Ensure all
cleaners are approved for finished steel, aluminum, plastic and upholstered surfaces. Vests
and straps that are removable and DO NOT contain metal components may be machine
washed warm (40°C), permanent press cycle, mild process.
DO NOT bleach. DO NOT tumble dry. Dry flat. DO NOT iron.
NOTE:
The buckle should make an audible click when fastened properly.
If the buckle does not
latch firmly and hold secure, please discontinue use and contact your provider.
Side-Release Buckle Use
* Either side of the strap may be detached from the pad using the elastic; however, the female section of the buckle is easier to
remove from the elastic than the male. Care should be taken not to detach the pad from both sections of the buckle at the same
time, except during cleaning, as it could be lost or misplaced.
This is the side-release buckle on a foot positioner pad in
the closed position.
To place the client’s shoe in the holder, pull the female
end of the side-release buckle through the elastic strap
holding it on the pad.*
To reconnect the buckle, slide the female end of the
buckle under the retaining elastic on the pad.
The side-release buckle is opened by pinching the
buttons on it’s sides until the halves separate. The ends
are retained via elastic straps sewn to the pad.
The cushioning pad will remain connected to the male
end of the buckle and both may now be folded back to
allow the client’s foot to be positioned.
Using the male end of the buckle, retrieve the female end
from under the elastic and pull them both back to closed
position, as shown above on the left.
