ADVICE TO CLIENT
DANGER!
•
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.
•
Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
•
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 it to dry.
DANGER!
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 health care professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.
