► The qualified personnel is responsible for making sure that the user and/or attendant/nursing staff has under­
stood the proper adjustment, use, maintenance and care of the belt system.
► In particular, ensure that the user and/or attendant/care staff knows how to quickly loosen and open the

6.3.1 Thoracic supports

1) Run the proper sides of the thoracic supports through the pad. The pointed sides of the support pads face up,
the rounded sides face down (see fig. 42).
INFORMATION: For folding thoracic supports only: The red release button on the folding thoracic sup­
port can face up or down. We recommend mounting the thoracic support so the release button faces
up, making it easier to use.
2) Put the mounting screws respectively through the slotted hole in the thoracic support and the back support
(see fig. 42, item 1; see fig. 43, item 1).
3) Fasten the thoracic supports on the rear of the back support using wing nuts.
4) If necessary, adjust the width and height. Firmly tighten the wing nuts.
