5.1.1 Fastening lap belt
Pull both belt bands forwards and push
the two parts of the fastening together.
Then carry out a pull test.
Attention:
!
Please ensure that nothing is stuck
under the belt in order to avoid pain-
ful bruising! – Thus you avoid painful
pressure points.
5.1.2 Setting belt length
Note:
The lap belt should be pulled tightly
but should not pinch.
5.2 Stabilisers
The stabilisers (fig. 62) provide increased
stability from tipping and can be swiv-
elled inwards under the seat (fig. 63).
Attention:
!
In certain situations, stabilisers do not
provide sufficient protection against
overturning.
Therefore never:
Lean the upper body far to the rear.
Start off too quickly, particularly when
travelling uphill.
Note:
Please observe the advice given in
the booklet "Safety Information for
Mechanical Wheelchairs"!
5.2.1 Swivelling the stabilisers
Push the stabilisers downwards from the
locking device, then swivel them in-
wards under the seat (fig. 63) until the
locking element engages automatically
at the top.
