Mounting a lap strap / seating positioning belt
Feed the bracket ends of the straps under the backrest
brace bar as shown, using the lower fixing hole. Ensure that
the adjuster buckles can be accessed and the strap is not
twisted (A-Fig. 6.2).
• Put a washer on the bolt.
• Pass the bolt through the lap strap fixing bracket.
• Put the next washer on to the bolt, (Fig. 6.3).
• Screw the bolt into the lowest pre-drilled hole in the
frame (B-Fig.6.2).
• Tighten using a 5.0mm hex wrench to a torque value of
60-70 in-lbs (6.8-7.9 Nm) (C-Fig.6.2).
• Adjust the lap strap to suit, leaving no more than a hand's
width gap for comfort and safety.
• The hand clearance should be with the lap strap under
normal tension and not allow large gaps or loops
(Fig. 6.5).
• Generally, the lap strap should be fixed so that the straps
sit at an angle of approximately 45° (Fig. 6.6) and when
correctly adjusted should not allow user to slip down in
the seat (Fig.6.7).
• Place the strap loosely across the seat with the opening
end of the buckle facing to the right for a left handed
person and to the left for a right-handed person. Pass the
other ends of the strap through the gap between the
backrest posts and the backrest (Fig. 6.4).
