The lap belt is an order form option, factory installed
•
by Sunrise Medical.
For your comfort, the Lap Belt must be correctly fitted
•
to the scooter. If you are unsure about the fitting or
operation of this option, please contact your
approved Sunrise Medical dealer.
Generally the Lap Belt should be fixed so that the
•
straps sit at an angle of approximately 45°, and when
correctly adjusted should not allow the upper body to
slip down in the seat, (Fig.4.22)
The lap belt is not suitable for use when the scooter
•
and occupant are transported in a vehicle. Always
use the separate occupant lap and diagonal
restraints provided in the vehicle, (Fig 4.4 - 4.6).
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to
•
ensure it is adjusted correctly and it is free from any
obstruction or adverse wear.
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and
•
adjusted prior to use could cause serious injury to the
user. E.g. too loose a strap may allow the user to slip
down in the seat and risk suffocation.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt, and securing components; at regular
•
intervals for any sign of fraying or damage.
Replace if necessary.
•
Clean the lap belt with warm soapy water and allow
•
to dry.
The lap belt should easily allow a hands width of
•
space between the body and the belt, (Fig.4.23).
Sunrise Medical also recommend that the fit of the
•
belt is checked on a daily basis to reduce the risk of
the end user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an
excessive length.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat
•
belt then ask your healthcare professional, dealer, or
carer for assistance.
For your comfort, the Lap Belt must be correctly fitted to
the scooter. If you are unsure about the fitting or opera-
tion of this option, please contact your approved Sunrise
Medical dealer.
