DANGER !
•
Before using your wheelchair ensure the lap belt is
worn.
•
The lap belt must be checked on a daily
•
basis to ensure it is free from any obstruction or
adverse wear.
•
Always make sure that the lap belt is correctly
secured and adjusted prior to use. If the strap is too
loose it could cause the user to slip down and risk
suffocation or cause serious injury.
The lap belt is fitted to the wheelchair as shown in the
illustrations. The seat belt comprises 2 halves. They are
fitted using the existing seat stay retaining bolt fitted
through the eyelet on the belt. The belt is routed under
the rear of the side panel. (Fig. 4.41)
Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the centre of the
seat. (Fig. 4.42)

Crutch holder
Crutch Holder
(Fig.4.39)
This device permits crutches to be transported directly on
the wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop to fasten crutches or
other aids.
CAUTION!
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other
aids while moving.
Adjust Lap Belt To Suit The User’s Needs As Follows:
To reduce the belt
length
To increase the belt length
Feed free belt
back through male
buckle and slide
adjusters.
Ensure belt is not
looped at male
buckle.
Feed free belt through slide adjusters
and male buckle to provide more belt
length.
When fastened check space between the lap belt and
user. When correctly adjusted it should not be possible to
insert more than the flat of the hand between the lap belt
and the user. (Fig. 4.43 overleaf).
Travel Wheels (Fig.4.40)
Travel wheels should be used
wherever your wheelchair
would be too wide if the rear
wheels were used (e.g., in
airplanes, buses, etc.). After
the rear wheels have been
removed with the aid of the
quick-release axles, the transit
wheels can immediately be
used to continue riding. The
transit wheels are mounted so
that they are approx. 3 centi-
meters above the ground when not in use. They are thus
out of the way when riding, transporting, or when tipping
to pass over obstacles (e.g., kerbs, steps, etc.).
CAUTION:
Your wheelchair does not have any wheel locks when the
transit wheels are being used.
NOTE
: When the chair is to be set up with the transit
wheels and the anti-tip tubes, the transit mounting must
be installed between the camber tube clamp and the anti-
tip tube clamp mounting (not shown).
