Lap Belt; Adaptation; Use - Otto Bock C1000 SF Instructions For Use Manual

6.6.2 Lap belt

The lap belt provides additional stabilisation and prevents the user from sliding out of the seat.

6.6.2.1 Adaptation

Small length adjustments of the belt by the user or an attendant (e.g. for clothing of different thickness) are pos­
sible.
The belt length can be adjusted on both sides. Excess belt length is taken up by the plastic slider.

Possible positioning errors
• The lap belt is positioned above the pelvis of the user in the area of the soft part of the stomach.
• The user does not sit upright in the seat.
• If the lap belt is too loose, the user can shift/slide out to the front.
• During the installation/adjustment, the lap belt is routed over parts of the seating system (e.g. over armrests or
seat pads). This causes the lap belt to lose its retaining function.
