Before using the wheelchair make
sure that the pelvic restraint belt is

belt is correctly secured and adjusted prior to use. If the strap
is too loose, this could cause the user of the wheelchair to

seat belt comprises two halves. They are
fitted using the existing seat stay retaining
bolt fitted through the eyelet on the belt. The
