7.2.2.2.3 Harness for the upper body

WARNING
Incorrect application of the belt
Throttling, suffocation or strangulation due to sliding forward or down in the product
► Always use the positioning system in combination with a positioning groin strap that has been put on and
adjusted correctly to stabilise the pelvis.
► 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.
INFORMATION
For further information, please see the instructions for use included with the product.
INFORMATION
Note the instructions for use and possible application errors (see page 24, four-point belts), which apply here too.
The seating unit can be equipped with a harness for the upper body that secures the torso in the seat for certain
indications (see fig. 41). It is used to hold the pelvis and the torso in a symmetrical position.
Adjusting the harness for the upper body
The length of the belts and thus the tension of the harness for the upper body can be adjusted using the two pairs
of clip buckles at the back of the seat (see fig. 42, item 1/2).
Putting on the harness for the upper body
1) Before the user is seated, release the closure buckles on the upper straps, which open from the side (see
fig. 41, item 1).
