PURPOSE
Resident-Release Nylon Belts are designed to be released easily by most residents. These belts are not con-
sidered to be restraints when used by residents who have the ability to open them at will or upon request.
However, they become physical restraints when used by residents who are unable to release them. The deter-
mination of the appropriateness of any of these belts for a specific resident is the responsibility of the profes-
sional and medical staff. These belts are intended for wheelchair use only.
APPLICATION
Before seating the resident, lock both wheelchair brakes and adjust the footrests to the out-of-way position.
Seat the resident as far back on the wheelchair seat as possible. Position the footrests to the front of the wheel-
chair and place the resident’s feet on them.
INSTALLATION TO WHEELCHAIR
Each belt listed above may be attached to a wheelchair using either of the methods described below.
METHOD A.
1. Remove the bottom screws from the left and right sides of the wheelchair
backrest. (See Illustration A.) Keep the grommets.
2. Place the grommets on the screws. Insert the screws through the holes in
the metal tabs on the ends of the belt sections. Reinsert the screws into the
screw holes and secure them to the backrest frame.
METHOD B.
1. Remove the rear screws from the left and right sides of
the wheelchair seat. (See Illustration B.) Keep the
grommets.
2. Place the grommets on the screws. Insert the screws
through the holes in the metal tabs on the ends of the
belt sections. Reinsert the screws into the screw holes
and screw holes and secure them to the seat frame.
Side-Release Buckle
(See Illustration C) Insert the male
end of the buckle into the female end. A “click” indicates
that the buckle is secure. To release, simultaneously
press the tabs on the top and bottom of the buckle.
Resident-Friendly Buckle
(See Illustration D) Lift faceplate of the buckle and insert
the webbing through the space between the buckle cam and buckle base. Press face-
plate all the way down to secure the buckle. To release, lift up the loose end of the
