8.8 Flexible Lateral
Support Adjustment
The flexible lateral supports can be
adjusted in height and width. To adjust
the width, loosen the knob (b) on the back
of the chest pad. Then adjust the lateral
support to the required position and finally
re-tighten the knob. To change the height,
loosen as before, slide the bracket out
fully and insert in an alternative slot (a),
replace the knob and tighten securely. As
the lateral brackets are staggered in height,
additional height range can be achieved
by swapping the lateral from the left to the
right side. The flexible lateral supports are
secured around the user by tightening the
safety strap (c) into position. Fasten the
safety strap immediately.
Check the laterals are secure before
placing the user in the product. As if
they are loose the user may be at risk of
slipping into a position they cannot not
recover from and could restrict
their breathing.

8.9 Positioning & attaching
the Pelvic Band
There is a different pelvic band for prone
and supine standing. The pelvic band
should be attached to the user first, if
practical on a mat. The pelvic straps are
attached around the user's pelvis and
then when the user is secured into the
frame (by their feet and chest) the longer
straps are slipped through the belt bars
(a) on the back of the hip pad and secured
firmly around the user. The additional strap
with the plastic buckle and clip (b) should
be secured to ensure the straps are not
accidentally unfastened. To ensure that
you can easily identify the strap that goes
around the user and the one that attaches
to the hip pad, a Leckey label is sewn onto
the one that attaches to the hip pad.
Always make sure the safety buckle is
engaged so the Velcro straps are not
accidentally undone which could allow the
user to slide out of the product and cause
serious injury.
