Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a
positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator
comfort.
See figure 11.
The positioning belt is
designed to support the operator so that he/she
does not slide down or forward in the seat. The
positioning belt is not designed for use as a
restraining device.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not
designed for use as a seat belt in a motor
vehicle. Nor is your power chair suitable
for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone
traveling in a vehicle should be properly
belted into seats approved by the vehicle
manufacturer.
WARNING! The positioning belt should
be secured at all times. Never allow the
positioning belt to hang or drag on the
floor as it may become entangled.
To adjust the positioning belt:
1.
Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt into the plastic housing on the opposite
side until you hear a click.
See
figure 11.
2.
Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is secure, but not so tight as to cause
discomfort.
To release the positioning belt:
1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the power chair and is
adjusted for operator comfort before each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose parts or damage, including tears, worn
spots, bent hardware, damaged latch mechanisms, dirt or debris, before each use of the
power chair. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized provider.
