Safety Belts And Harness - progeo YOGA User Manual

5.7 Safety belt and harness
Both the waist belt (fig. 39) and the harness (fig. 40) 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 waist 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.
The waist belt (fig. 39) holds the occupant in the chair around the
waist and leaves the upper body free for movement. The waist belt
is fastened to the wheelchair with two anchorage points: two at the
rear of the frame.

The harness system (fig. 40) holds the occupant in the seat at
his/her waist and shoulder. The entire upper body of the occupant
(figs.39-40)
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 .

Using the waist belt and harness system
Using the waist belt (figs. 39, 42) and harness system (figs. 40, 43)
is fairly simple.
Before sitting in the wheelchair the occupant should open the
buckles by pressing on both sides of the locking buckle and pull the
two parts open (fig. 41).
