Invacare Action 2 NG Range User Manual page 27

Ensure you are sitting correctly, i.e. fully back in the seat, and
the pelvis is as upright and symmetrical as possible - not
forward on one side or tilted back. 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.
For ease of use it is recommended that the clasp is kept in
a central position where possible i.e. make adjustments to
each side of metal buckle belt with double adjuster. Please
check your posture belt every week, to ensure that it is in
good condition; no damage, fraying etc. and that it is securely
fixed to the wheelchair.
In case the posture belt has to be replaced, the new
belt fixation should be conform to the scheme enclosed
with each belt delivery; the belt should be mounted and
adjusted by your regular dealer.
Make sure that the belts do not get caught in the spokes of
the rear wheel.
Not to be used as an alternative to a 3-point occupant res-
traint in a vehicle. A metal buckle posture belt must be used
in conjonction with the 3-point occupant restraint.
