Pelvic belt and harness

Both the pelvic belt and the harness are accessories to this model and must therefore be ordered
separately. Both of these belt systems are designed to offer greater security and stability to the
occupant while seated in the chair.
Both the pelvic belt and harness system are of particular use for occupants with little
control of their upper body and who require extra support in order to be held securely in
the seat during use.
PELVIC BELT
It holds the occupant in the chair around the waist and
leaves the upper body free for movement. The pelvic
belt is fastened to the wheelchair with two anchorage
points at the rear of the frame.
HARNESS
It holds the occupant in the seat at his/her waist and
shoulder. The entire upper body of the occupant is
secured to the seat. It is intended for use by
occupants with particularly limited mobility in the upper
body.
The harness system is fastened to the wheelchair with
four anchorage points: two at the rear of the frame and
two on the backrest tubes.
USE
Using the pelvic belt and harness system is fairly simple.
Before the occupant sits in the wheelchair, he/she or his/her attendant should open the buckles by
pressing on both sides of the locking buckle and pull the two parts open.
Once seated in the chair with the belt or harness in place the occupant can close the buckles by
fastening the two parts together.
Both belts can be easily adjusted by pulling the extremities of their bands.
