Lateral support

This accessory is designed to give support to the
user's trunk.
This lateral support is of the type "swing-away",
thus, you can swing it back.
Turn the lever A by 90°and swing the lateral to the
opposite position where it will automatically lock.
Make sure the system is stable.
Always make a check, in fact, if the
system is not stable, it may result risky
to the user.

7.10 Lumbar support

It is a pad that offers better support to
the lumbar area.
To position the lumbar support, raise the
backrest upholstery on its front side.
Via Velcro present on the parts, attach
the lumbar support either to the backrest
upholstery or to the backrest bands at
the necessary height. Finally, put the
backrest upholstery back to its normal
position.

7.11 Pelvic belt and harness

Both the pelvic belt and the harness are accessories to this model and must therefore be ordered
L
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.
