1. To assemble the positioning belt, take the positioning belt strap and thread through the tri-glide. Repeat
on both ends of positioning belt.
2. To fit the positioning belt to the chair, take the positioning belt strap and wrap around the back post.
3. Thread the positioning belt back through the tri-glide to form a loop around the back post. Thread posi-
tioning strap through tri-glide as shown.
4. To secure the positioning belt to the chair. Take one of the cable ties supplied and thread through the
positioning belt strap. Then wrap around the frame and fasten together. DO NOT over tighten positioning
belt. Repeat steps 2-4 with both ends of positioning belt.
5. To adjust the positioning belt use the tri-glide buckles and the fastening buckle.
6. The positioning belt should be adjusted so the fastening buckle is situated in the middle of the stomach.

The positioning belt must only be fitted by an approved Sunrise Medical dealer/agent. The positioning belt should
only be adjusted by a professional, or a Sunrise Medical approved dealer/agent. The positioning belt must be
checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adjusted correctly (see step 6) and is free from any obstruction or
adverse wear. Sunrise Medical does not encourage the transportation of any person in a vehicle using this posi-
tioning belt as a method of restraint. Please see Sunrise Medical transit booklet for further advice on transporta-
tion.
Lap Belt Maintenance
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for any sign of frays or damage. Replace if neces-
sary.
NOTE– The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed above. Sunrise Medical recommends that
the length and fit of the belt be checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end user inadvertently
re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length.
S. CHECK-OUT

perform smoothly. If you have any problems, follow these procedures:
1. Review assembly and adjustment sections to make sure the chair was properly prepared.
2. Review troubleshooting guide.
3. If your problem persists, contact your authorized supplier. If you still have a problem after contacting your
authorized supplier, contact Sunrise customer service. See the introduction page for details on how to
