CAUTION
Lack of instruction
Injuries, malpositions, illness of the user due to incorrect information
► 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
product to avoid delays in case of emergency.
Installing the lap belt
1) Attach the lap belt on the seat frame (see fig. 41, item 1). Use the respective hexagon socket screws, washers
and self-locking hexagon nuts to do so (see fig. 42).
2) On both sides, tighten the hexagon socket screws.
Adjusting the lap belt
1) Prior to adjustment, position the user correctly in the seat.
2) Open the strap at the closure.
3) Place the belt around the user and fasten it.
4) Pull the loose ends of each adjustment strap through the glide buckle until the correct length is reached.
INFORMATION: Both belt halves should be adjusted evenly so that the closure stays centred in the
middle. The belt should be tight enough so the pelvis is sufficiently stabilised or positioned, but not
so tight as to be uncomfortable. The adjustment angle between the belt and seat frame should be
about 60°. Adjust the belt so that no loose ends can hang over the product.
Possible adjustment errors
•
The belt is positioned above the user's pelvis in the area of the soft tissue of the abdomen.
•
The user is not sitting upright in the seat.
INFORMATION: This does not apply if the user is unable to assume a 90° sitting position.
•
If the harness is put on too loosely, the user can shift/slide out to the front.
•
During assembly/adjustment, the harness is routed over parts of the seating system (e.g. over forearm supports
on the seat). This causes the harness to lose its positioning and retaining function.
