Vinyl Strapping
Maintenance
The only maintenance required for the vinyl straps is general cleaning with an ammonia or chlorine based
cleaners (Do Not use petroleum based cleaners).
Installation/Replacement Instructions
The vinyl strapping has both elasticity and memory retention this allows each strap to conform to the resident as
an independent unit. Occasionally a strap may lose memory or be cut. This makes it necessary to replace them.
These straps are installed under tension this is done by heating the straps so that they are soft and pliable and
this enables them to be easily stretched during installation. They are held in place by riveting them to the steel
frame of the chair and then wrapping them around the frame over the top of the rivet. This is done the same for
both ends of the strap.
Steps: (see following page for illustration)
1)
Remove the old strap by cutting it in two and drilling out the rivets with a 3/16” drill bit.
2)
Heat the strap either by placing it in a pot of boiling water for a couple of minutes or by laying it out
and heating it with a heat gun.
