Adjust the pelvic restraint 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 pelvic restraint
belt and the user. (Fig.11.3).
The lap belt should be fxed so that the belt sits at an angle of 45
degrees across the users pelvis. The user should be upright and
be as far back as possible in the seat when correctly adjusted.
The lap belt should not allow the user to slip down in the seat.
WARNING!
• If in doubt about the use and operation of the lap belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or
attendant for assistance.
• The lap belt must only be fitted by an approved Sunrise
Medical dealer / agent. The lap belt should only be adjusted by

person in a vehicle using this lap belt as a method of restraint.

on transportation.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt, and securing components, at regular intervals for
any sign of frays or damage. Replace if necessary.
NOTE:
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
