ADVICE TO CLIENT
DANGER!
•
Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair and
occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the separate
occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in the vehicle.
•
Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
•
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 chair 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 it to dry.
DANGER!
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular 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, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.
Options - Seat
COMFORT SEAT
The Comfort seat allows you to be seated for a long period of time,
because of the layer of wood and anatomically shaped cushions,
(Fig.49).
WARNING!
Brackets must lock in the cross brace tubes when fitting the seat.
Options – Seat depth growth
SEAT DEPTH
By removing the clips (1), the cross-brace unit (2) can be pushed
along the frame, which then alters the seat depth (depending on the
position of the back tubes).
Make sure that the clips (1) snap into the frame holes provided.
To keep the frame as compact as possible, the seat depth can also
be adjusted by using the back tubes (41 – 46 cm in steps of 2.5
cm). To do this remove the screws (1 and 2) on the back tube
bracket. Remove the wheels and the armrests and check that the
cross-brace is in the desired position (push the cross-brace as
described above). Move the back tubes to the desired position and
re-tighten all screws. Move the receiver tube for the armrests to the
desired position, (Fig. 50).
