Positioning Belt
Your wheelchair may be equipped with a positioning
belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fig-
ure 40. 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 in a motor vehicle.
WARNING!
equipped with a transit securement
system, the positioning belt should
only be adjusted by a Quantum Rehab
Provider or a qualified technician.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Remove and discard the screws on both the left and
right back canes. See figure 40.
NOTE: The existing back cane screws must be
replaced with longer screws to properly install the
positioning belt.
2. Insert the longer screws through the bracket and
then through the back canes on each side of the
wheelchair seat. See figure 40.
3. Tighten both screws.
4. Install the positioning belt onto the bracket and pull
until the positioning belt snaps into place.
To adjust the positioning belt for operator comfort:
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. See figure 41.
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. Push the button mechanism on the plastic housing.
