6.4 Adjusting the belt length

CAUTION

Injuries, malpositions, user discomfort due to adjustment errors
► The qualified personnel is responsible for the individual positioning and fitting of the positioning belt (lap belt).
► Excessively tight adjustment may lead to unnecessary pain or user discomfort.
► Adjusting the positioning belt (lap belt) too loosely can cause the user to slide into a dangerous position. In
addition, the fastening snaps could open unintentionally if they slide against hard parts of clothing (e.g. but­
tons).
CAUTION

Injuries, malpositions, illness of the user due to incorrect information
► The qualified personnel is responsible for making sure that the user and/or attendant/care staff has under­
stood the proper adjustment, use, maintenance and care of the positioning belt (lap belt).
► In particular, ensure that the user and/or attendant/care staff knows how to quickly loosen and open the
product to avoid delays in case of emergency.
Notes on correctly applying and adjusting the positioning belt (lap belt) are found in the section "Positioning belt
(lap belt)" of the power wheelchair instructions for use (user).

6.5 Adjusting the tray

The holder for the tray is already installed on the power wheelchair.
The position of the tray should be adapted to the user by the qualified personnel. If necessary, an opening for the
control panel has to be cut into the tray surface using suitable tools so the control panel remains accessible for the
user and does not collide with the tray.
Detailed information on preparation for use, adjustment, use, cleaning and maintenance can be found in the separ­
ate instructions for use included with the tray.
They must be given to the user upon delivery of the product.

characteristics and cause an accident.

the product and the control device manufacturer are not liable in case of damage caused by parameter set­
tings that were incorrectly configured or not adjusted properly according to the user's abilities.

each time after parameter settings are changed.
