4.23 Attachment when using posture
belt for positioning
CAUTION!
Risk of sliding
– The posture belt must be placed tight to the
body.
– Our wheelchairs must always be used with
a seat cushion. If the length of the posture
belt has been adjusted to fit one type of seat
cushion height, it is important that this cushion
is used. If the seat cushion is replaced, the
length of the belt needs to be adjusted.
– The seat must be positioned flat or tilted
backwards if the user is left alone unattended.
Posture belts which are CE-marked for the purpose
of using on wheelchairs, can be mounted on the
chair with preserved CE-marking. The posture belt
should be fitted by the responsible prescriber and be
mounted by an experienced technician. However,
when transporting the wheelchair in a vehicle,
Invacare's original posture belt must be used as a
complement to the safety belt in the vehicle!
See chapter: "Transporting wheelchairs with users in
vehicles"
The purpose of using a posture belt for positioning,
is to position the user and to give him / her a better
posture.
CAUTION!
Risk of sliding
– If you have a very low seat height and / or
use your feet to maneuver the wheelchair, the
legrests can be removed. If so, be aware of the
sliding risk!
