5.3 Seat belt
Before using your wheelchair ensure the seat belt is worn and
correctly adjusted before use.
The seat belt is fitted to the wheelchair as shown in the illustrations. The
seat belt support loops are fitted to the backrest frame using the existing
lower backrest screw fitted through the eyelet of the belt loop.
It is important that the belt is routed around the back of
the wheelchair. The buckle end can be fed between the
armrest and backrest.
Adjust the belt position so buckles are in the centre of the seat.
Adjust seat belt to suit the user’s needs as follows: -
To increase the belt length: - To reduce the belt length: -
Feed free belt through slide
adjusters and male buckle to
provide more 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 belt and user, when correctly
adjusted it should be possible to insert the flat of the hand between the
belt and user.
Generally the Lap Belt should be fixed so that the straps sit at an angle of
approximately 45°, and when correctly adjusted should not allow user to slip down
in the seat.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask your healthcare
professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant for assistance.
Do not rely on the seat belt only when the wheelchair and occupant are transported in
a vehicle, use the separate occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided in the vehicle.
To fasten buckle: -
Firmly push male buckle into female buckle.
To release belt: -
Press exposed sides of male buckle and push
towards centre whilst gently pulling apart.
