Invacare® Action 3 NG
WARNING!
Risk of serious injury during transport
In a vehicle, a user in his wheelchair must be
secured by a safety belt (3-point belt). A posture
belt only is not sufficient as a personal restraint
device.
– Use the posture belt as a complement, but not
as a substitute to the 3-point safety belt, when
transporting the wheelchair user in a vehicle.
Closing and opening the posture belt
Ensure that you are sitting fully back in the seat and that
the pelvis is as upright and symmetrical as possible.
1. To close, push the catch A into the buckle clasp B.
2. To open, push the PRESS button C and pull the catch
A out of the buckle clasp B.

Adjusting the length
The posture belt has the good length, when there's
just sufficient space for a flat hand between body
and belt.
1. Shorten or extend the loop D as required.
2. Thread loop D through catch A and plastic buckle E
until the loop is flat.
If this adjustment is not sufficient, it might be required to
re-fit the posture belt at the fixations.
Fitting the posture belt at the fixations
CAUTION!
– Thread the belt loop through both plastic
buckles to avoid the belt from loosening.
– Do the adjustments on both sides equally,
so that the buckle clasp remains in a central
position.
– Make sure that the belts do not get caught in
the spokes of a rear wheel.
