Mounting and assembly.
1: Secure the fixlock buckles at the desired
position on the wheelchair frame, using
the tube clamps (fig. 1). Always consult the
instructions of the wheelchair manufacturer.
1.1: The fixlock buckles should be fitted in the
orange zone over the thighs, producing an
angle of ±90 degrees with the seating area (fig.
2). This method provides pressure on the thighs
and supports the pelvis.
1.2: The fixlock buckle can also be fitted in the blue zone at
an angle of ± 45 degrees (fig. 3). This method allows more
pressure on the pelvic rim (sips).
The 40mm (S – XL) or 25mm (XS) straps can now be led
through the fixlock buckle. Bring the client into the desired
position, the position of the pelvis is leading.

Check all belts and straps regularly for wear
and tear. Make sure the fixlock buckles are
functioning properly.
Mounting using tri-glides.
If the wheelchair frame is not suitable for the tube clamps, the
straps can also be secured using the tri-glide sliding buckles.
1.3: Pass the end of the strap through the tri-glide (fig 4.).
Make sure that the sliding buckle is positioned at the desired
mounting position on the wheelchair frame (see also fig. 2
and 3).
1.4: Wrap the end of the strap around the frame and feed it
back through the sliding buckle (fig. 5, 6)
1.5: Now pull the end of the strap as tight as possible so that
the sliding buckle is secured firmly against the wheelchair
frame (fig. 7).
Periodically check the straps and the tri-glide
slide buckles for slack.
