Invacare® Ben NG Series
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.
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.
WARNING!
Risk of injury
– Fitting of the posture belt at the fixations must
be carried out by a qualified technician.

4.2 Anti-tipper
An anti-tipper prevents the wheelchair from tipping
backwards.
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
Anti-tippers that are incorrectly set or no longer
working can lead to overturning.
– Always check that the anti-tipper is working
before using the wheelchair and have it fit by a
qualified technician when required.
– In some configurations, the static stability of
the wheelchair may be lower than 10°; Invacare
strongly recommends the use of anti-tipper
(available as an option).
WARNING!
Risk of overturning
On uneven or soft ground, the anti-tipper can sink
into potholes or directly into the ground, thereby
curtailing or eliminating its safety function.
– Only use the anti-tipper when travelling on
even and firm ground.
IMPORTANT!
Risk of damage
– Never step on the anti-tipper or use it as a
tipping aid.
