4) Pull the harness for the upper body over the head onto the user's upper body.
5) Fasten the closure buckles on the upper straps.
6) Insert and fasten the buckles on the lower straps.
7) If necessary: Pull the belt straps tight in the clip buckles behind the seat (see fig. 42, item 1/2) and fasten
them. Make sure that the harness for the upper body lies symmetrically on the pelvis.
CAUTION! Ensure that the user's posture in the seat is correct: If the harness for the upper body is too
loose, the user may slide forward and adopt an incorrect posture or even slide completely out of the
seat. The lower straps of the harness must be level with the hip bone on both sides (also see the fol­
lowing notes regarding use).

Instructions for use
• Place the user in an upright, 90° seated position (if physiologically possible).
• Ensure that the back is up against the backrest padding (if physiologically possible).
• Ensure that the height of the backrest on the product is adjusted correctly. The top of the backrest must be at
the height of the shoulders (see fig. 43).
• The positioning system is intended to support the area of the upper body (breastbone) from the front. The
upper and lower straps have to be adjusted as needed.
• Ensure that the positioning system is not too close to the throat (see fig. 44). Otherwise the upper straps have
to be readjusted.

Possible errors
• The positioning system is too close to the throat, endangering the user.
• The positioning system makes contact with the user in the area of the soft part of the stomach (too low).
• The user's hips are not secured with a separate pelvic harness.
• If the positioning system is too loose, the user can shift forward/slide down.
• The positioning system collides with devices, options or supply hoses during installation and adjustment,
restricting their functionality.
