Options – Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-tip tubes
The anti-tip tubes (1) give greater
safety to user when they are lear-

tubes (1) stop the wheelchair tip-
ping over backwards. The anti-tip
tubes (1) can be pulled backwards
so that they are released and can
be flipped up. By pressing the
release button, they can be remo-
ved. There should always be a gap
of 3 to 5 cm to the floor. When tra-
velling up and down a high step
(e.g. kerb) the anti-tip tubes must be flipped up in order to avoid
them catching on the kerb.

Options – Lap belt
Before using your
wheelchair ensure the
seat belt is worn and correctly
adjusted before use.
The lap belt is fitted to the
wheelchair as shown in the illustra-
tions. The lap belt is fitted bet-
ween the armrest support and the
backrest tube. The belt should
then be run across the outside of
the back upholstery.
!
It is important that the belt is routed around the back
of the wheelchair. The buckle end can be fed between the
armrest and backrest.
Adjust the belt position so that the buckles are in the centre of the
seat.
Adjust the lap belt to suit the user’s needs as follows:
!
When fastened check space bet-
ween the lap belt and the user,
when correctly adjusted it should
be possible to insert the flat of the
hand between the lap belt and the
user.
Feed the belt
through slide adju-
sters and male
buckle to provide
more belt length.
Feed the belt back
through male
buckle and slide
adjusters.
Ensure the belt is
not looped at the
male buckle
To increase the belt length: - To reduce the belt lenght: -
Generally the Lap Belt should
be fixed so that the straps sit
at an angle of approximately
45°, and when correctly adju-
sted should not allow user to
slip down in the seat.
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.
Advice to Client
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adju-
sted correctly and it is free from any obstruction or adverse wear.
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 to dry.
!
!
To fasten buckle: -
Firmly push the male buck-
le into female buckle.
To release belt: -
Press the exposed sides of
the male buckle and push
towards the centre whilst
gently pulling apart.
Note
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 dea-
ler, carer or attendant for assistance.
