Push Handles; Lap Belt Instructions - Sunrise Medical QUICKIE Classic 100 Notice D'utilisation

Options – Push Handles
Height-Adjustable Push Handles
These handles are secured with
pins to prevent them from sliding
out unintentionally. Opening the
quick-release lever (1) makes it
possible to adjust the push hand-
les to meet your individual needs.
As you move the lever, you will
hear a locking mechanism; you
may now easily position the push
handle as desired. The nut (2) on
the tension lever determines how
tightly the push handles are clamped into place. If
the nut is loose after adjusting the tension lever, the
push handle will also be too loose. Turn the push
handle from side to side before use to make sure
that it is clamped securely enough into place. After
adjusting handle height, always clamp the tension
lever (1) securely into place. If the lever is not secu-
re, injuries could result when ascending stairs.

Ensure the belt is
not looped at the
male buckle
Generally the Lap Belt should
be fixed so that the straps sit
at an angle of approximately
45°, and when correctly adju-
sted should not allow user to
slip down in the seat.
To fasten buckle: -
Firmly push the male buck-
le into female buckle.
Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair
!
and occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the
separate occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in
the vehicle.
Advice to Client
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adju-
sted correctly and it is free from any obstruction or adverse wear.
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and
!
adjusted prior to use could cause serious injury to the
user. E.g. too loose a strap may allow the user to slip
down in the chair and risk suffocation.
Maintenance
Check lap belt, and securing components; at regular intervals for
any sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary.
Clean the lap belt with warm soapy water and allow to dry.
Note
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as
detailed above
Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of
the end user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an
excessive length
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt
!
then ask your healthcare professional, wheelchair dea-
ler, carer or attendant for assistance.
To release belt: -
