6.1 Seatbelt

The wheelchair can be equipped with a
seatbelt if necessary. The purpose of the
safety belt is to strap in the wheelchair
user. As an additional stabilisation of the
sitting position, it prevents the user from
falling forwards out of the wheelchair
(depending on the degree of the dis-
ability) and can be infinitely adjusted to
suit the user.
The retrofitting must be carried out by
an authorised workshop.
Attention:
!
The seatbelt is not a part of the se-
curing system for the wheelchair, or
the person sitting in the wheelchair,
during the transport in a disabled
person transport vehicle.
– Do not jam any items under the belt
strap.
