PIN Static Seat Belt
Fit and use
Classic 2 point occupant lap belt
1.
Connect the tongue, of the lap belt with tongue to the wheelchair tie-down
buckle, (Fig. 4A). Connect the tongue, of the lap belt with buckle to the
wheelchair tie-down buckle, (Fig. 4B).
2.
Draw the lap belts around around the occupant and clip the lap belt tongue
into the lap belt buckle, (Fig. 4C), sitting centrally to the occupant. Adjust as
firmly as possible, consistent with user comfort, such that the lap belt sits
low over the front of the pelvis and bears over the bony part of the body, not
wheelchair components.
3.
The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of 30°
or more to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in order to fit
low across the pelvis, reducing the possiblity of the belt loading the abdomen,
(Fig. 2). The pelvic restraint is designed to bear upon the bony structure of the
body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis with any junctions
between the pelvic and shoulder restraints located near the wearers hips.
Removing the occupant restraint
1.
Disconnect the female connector
point from the male connector
point on the lap buckle, (Fig. 4C).
2.
Disconnect the two lap belt
connector points from the
wheelchair restraint, (Fig. 4A & B),
and remove the restraint from the
occupant. Store safely.
