Wheelchair-Anchored Belts

The pelvic belt that is provided by Invacare has been tested for use in a motor
vehicle on this wheelchair ONLY. DO NOT replace the pelvic belt with a different
style pelvic belt.
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 14.2.
The wheelchair has been provided with a pelvic belt which meets the requirements of
ANSI/RESNA WC/19.5.3.
The pelvic belt provided by Invacare has been designed to accommodate use on either
side of the vehicle. If necessary, follow the instructions below to reverse the orientation of
the pelvic belt to accommodate the vehicle‐anchored upper torso belt.
1. Install the pelvic belt pin (Detail ʺAʺ of FIGURE 14.2) into slot in the pelvic belt
bracket. Pull upwards until it snaps into place.
NOTE: Note the position of the male end of the belt when installing the pelvic belt onto the pelvic
belt brackets. The male end of the pelvic belt (Detail ʺAʺ of FIGURE 14.2) has a pin which is used
to secure the vehicle‐anchored upper torso belt.
2. Repeat STEP 1 for the opposite pelvic belt bracket.
