CAUTION! The breast belt lock can lose strength due to soiling or wear!
• The belt lock velcro strap must not be soiled or clogged with fluff, fabric residue or similar
foriegn bodies! It must be in a clean, undamaged condition!
• The belt lock velcro loop strip must not be frayed or otherwise damaged or soiled!
• The seams which fix the velcro strap or velcro loop strip to the belt must be in perfect
undamaged condition! The velcro strap or velcro loop strip may not loosen themselves from
their substrate!
• When locking the belt, the velcro strap and velcro loop strip must completely overlap each
other. The strength of the lock is considerably decreased if the velcro strap and velcro loop
strip only partially overlap.
• To check the functionality of the belt, the user should lean forwards and exert pressure on the
belt when the verticalizer is lowered and the belt is fastened. The belt lock must not loosen or
release when this is done! In doing so, the user must be safeguarded by an attendant so that
he cannot fall forwards out of the electric wheelchair if the lock should release.
