dangerous to use this product without stabilizing the
pelvis – always use with a properly fitted pelvic support
belt.
WARNING! This product should only be used for
positioning a person in a wheelchair. It is NOT
intended for use as a transportation safety device, as a
personal restraint device, or in any other application
where its failure could result in injury. Misuse of this
product is unauthorized and unsafe.
WARNING! This harness must be properly fitted to
support the user's trunk and shoulders without causing
injury. Have your seating specialist demonstrate its
proper adjustment and use.
• A harness that is too tight can restrict respiration and
increase pressure across the shoulders and chest.
• A harness that is too loose can allow the user to slip
down and may create a risk of strangulation.
• Accidental release of this shoulder harness can allow
the user to fall forward.
• A user's inability to self-release can be hazardous if
the user slips down or is trapped in the chair in an
emergency.

If the user's physical or cognitive abilities could prevent
them from safely operating this harness, a caregiver
must be present at all times during its use. Ensure
that all caregivers know how to correctly adjust and
unfasten the product.
WARNING! As with any new seating support, this
product may change the way a person sits. Users must
continue to practice regular pressure relief activities
and skin integrity checks, not only where this product
contacts the user, but also in primary pressure-bearing
areas such as the sacrum, legs, and buttocks. If
increased skin redness or irritation occurs, discontinue
use and consult your physician or seating specialist.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury, such as
pressure ulcers.
