6.9.3 Adjusting the height of the chest belt
In addition to adjusting the belt length, the height of the
chest belt can be adapted to the requirements of the user by
means of the slotted holes.
1) Loosen the Allen head screws on both holders. These
are located respectively on the right and left of the back­
rest (see fig. 12, item 1).
It is also possible to mount the chest belt at the same
height as the support if necessary. In order to do so, the
belt holder (see fig. 12, item 1) has to be mounted
underneath the support holder (see fig. 12, item 2).
2) Move the holder in the slotted holes.
3) Retighten the screws.
4) Verify that the adjustment is correct.
WARNING! The chest belt is intended to support
the area over the sternum (breastbone) from the
front.
