7.2.2.2 Harness for the upper body

7.2.2.2.1 Four-point belt

WARNING
Incorrect application of the belt
Throttling, suffocation or strangulation due to sliding forward or down in the product
► The positioning system must fit closely but not too tightly. To avoid injury to the user, it should be possible to
slide two fingers comfortably between the positioning system and the upper body.
► The positioning system is intended to support the area of the upper body from the front. It must be put on and
positioned in such a way that the neck and the throat area remain free at all times. Follow the positioning
instructions.
► To put the product on and adjust it correctly, follow the information in these instructions for use so that the
user cannot slide into a hazardous position.
The seating unit can be equipped with a four-point belt (see fig. 36). It additionally stabilises the pelvis and
shoulders and prevents the user from sliding out of the seat. The buckle makes it easy to get in and out.
Adjusting the belt
1) Adjust the shoulder harness using the clip buckles on the back support (see fig. 35, item 1).
2) The lap belt component is adjusted in a similar way to the lap belt (see page 21).
INFORMATION: If the lap belt component is passed under the padding, the back support pad closures
must be loosened in order to adjust the belt (see fig. 40).
→ The four-point belt is adjusted correctly when the closed belt buckle lies against the child's abdomen (see five-
point belt: see fig. 37).
Using the belt
1) To undo the belt, press the red button (see fig. 36, item 1).
2) Move the shoulder and lap belts to the side.
3) Sit the user in the seat.
4) Place the shoulder harness over the shoulders. Pass the lap belt over the pelvis.
5) Press the tongues into the belt buckle until they click (see fig. 36, item 2).
