Posture belt (photo 27) : to close the buckle belt, engage
part (A) into part (B), to open press (C).
The posture belt is mounted on the backrest brackets.
Straps should be adjusted on both sides to suit user body,
thread the loop (D) through the mounting on the chair and
then through the two plastic buckles (E). It is important that
both buckles (E) are used.There is a danger the belt might
slip if the belt is threaded through only one.

adjusted, thread the loop (F) through the plastic buckle (G).
Please make sure that the belt cannot slide.
Position the posture belt so that the hip bones can be felt
above the belt.As a guide, adjust the length so that there
is just sufficient room for your hand to slide between your
body and the belt.
