• Lap straps are not suitable for transit purposes, approved
occupant restraint systems must be used.

Mounting a lap strap / seating positioning belt
Feed the bracket ends of the straps under the backrest brace
bar as shown, using the lower fixing hole. Ensure that the
adjuster buckles can be accessed and the strap is not twisted,
(A-Fig. 5.2).
• Put a washer on the bolt.
• Pass the bolt through the lap strap fixing bracket.
• Put the next washer on to the bolt, (Fig. 5.3).
• Screw the bolt into the lowest hole in the frame. (B-Fig.5.2)
• Tighten using a 5.0mm hex wrench to a torque value of
10Nm, (C-Fig.5.2).
• Adjust the lap strap to suit, leaving no more than a hand's
width gap for comfort and safety.
• The hand clearance should be with the lap strap under normal
tension and not allow large gaps or loops, (Fig. 4.7).
• Generally, the lap strap should be fixed so that the straps sit
at an angle of approximately 45° (Fig. 4.8), and when correctly
adjusted should not allow user to slip down in the seat.
• Place the strap loosely across the seat with the opening end
of the buckle facing to the right for a left handed person and
to the left for a right-handed person. Pass the other ends of
the strap through the gap between the backrest posts and the
backrest. (Fig. 5.4)
