Anterior Lateral Support (Lap Belt) - Zippie Simba Notice D'utilisation

6.0 Anterior Lateral Support (Lap belt)

DANGER!
Before using your wheelchair ensure the lap belt is worn.
The lap belt must be checked on a daily
basis to ensure it is free from any obstruction or adverse wear.
Always make sure that the lap strap is correctly secured and adjusted prior
to use. If the strap is too loose it could cause the user to slip down and risk
suffocation or cause serious injury.
The lap belt is fitted to the wheelchair as shown in the illustrations. The seat
belt comprises 2 halves. They are fitted using the existing seat stay retaining
bolt fitted through the eyelet on the belt. The belt is routed under the rear of
the side panel, (1). (Fig. 6.1)
Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the centre of the seat. (Fig. 6.2).
If you want to retrofit a lap belt, then please contact your authorised Sunrise
Medical dealer.
Adjust lap belt to suit the user's needs as follows:
To reduce the belt length
Feed free belt back through
male buckle and slide adjusters.
Ensure belt is not looped at male
buckle.
When fastened check space between the pelvic restraint belt and user. When
correctly adjusted it should not be possible to insert more than the flat of the
hand between the lap belt and the user. (Fig. 6.3).
