Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure
25. The positioning belt is designed to support the operator so that he/she does not slide down or forward in the
seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining device.
WARNING! The positioning belt is not designed for use as a seat belt in a motor vehicle. Nor is
your power chair suitable for use as a seat in any vehicle. Anyone traveling in a vehicle should
be properly belted into seats approved by the vehicle manufacturer.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Insert the screw through the mounting tab at the end of the positioning belt and then through the seatback. See
figure 25.
2. Install the nut to the assembly, and then tighten the nut using two adjustable spanners.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other side.
To adjust the positioning belt:
1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt into the plastic housing on the opposite side until you
hear a click.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
To release the positioning belt:
1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the power chair and is
adjusted for operator comfort before each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose or damaged parts before each use of the
power chair. If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for maintenance
and repair.
