6. Extend the shoulder belt from the retractor and
attach the female pin connector end to the male
pin connector on the lap belt. The belt will
remain comfortable on the passenger and lock
only in an emergency when an inertial force is
applied.
When positioned properly, the shoulder belt
should lay across the torso and angle up from
the mid-point of the shoulder to the wall.
Adjust the belt as firmly as possible
consistent with user comfort.
DO NOT twist the belt.
7. Engage the wheel locks on the wheelchair.
Ensure all passengers and wheelchair
equipment is secured correctly. Failure to do
so can result in property damage, personal
injury or death.

Care and Maintenance

1. Clean the webbing periodically with mild soap
and water. After cleaning, fully extend the belts
and position them to prevent water from
entering the retractor until completely dry. Take
care to prevent contamination of the webbing
with polishes, oils and chemicals, particularly
battery acid.
2. Webbing and components should be inspected,
cleaned and maintained regularly.
3. Frayed, contaminated and damaged webbing
should be replaced.
4. Broken and worn parts should be replaced.
5. Components, including anchorages, that are
suspected to have been in use during an impact
from which the vehicle must be towed, should
be replaced.
6. Clean bolt threads and re-apply permanent
thread locker if bolts are adjusted.
Do not use the wheelchair life for lifting
freight. The warranty will be void.
