• Adjust the shoulder height, as
per instructions in section 8.14
'Shoulder Height Adjustment'.
The top of the shoulder straps
should be level with the user's
shoulders.
• Place the shoulder straps over
the user's chest and connect
the grey clips on the straps
into the grey buckles on the
harness. Adjust as required
by pulling the straps until
they are taut.
• If there is a gap between
the user's shoulder area
and the top of the shoulder
straps , release the black
clips on the shoulder straps
and pull the straps to
adjust. Close the clip once
the desired position has
been achieved.
• If, after the harness has been
attached to the frame, the user
appears to be slipping through
the straps, the shoulder straps
can be positioned across the
user's body. Cross the shoulder
straps across the front of the
user's body in an 'X' shape then
clip each strap into the buckle
on the harness which would
be on the opposite side from
when the shoulder straps and
harness are connected in the
standard set up.
Warning – the carer must assess whether
there is appropriate clearance of the
shoulder straps from the user's neck if
positioning straps as described above to
avoid any strangulation risk.
Note – if the user
needs to be removed
from the product
quickly e.g. Due to
a seizure/spasm in
product, release all
coloured buckles.
Warning – This device
is not intended for all
day use but as part of
