Adjust lap 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 fat of the hand between the lap belt and the
user. (Fig. 6.47).
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.

to slip down in the seat.
To fasten buckle:
Firmly push male buckle
into female buckle.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for
any sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary.
NOTE:
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above. Sunrise Medical recommend that the length and fit of the
belt be checked on a daily basis to reduce the risk of the end

To increase the belt length:
Feed free belt through slide ad-
justers and male buckle to provide
more belt length.
To release belt:
Press exposed sides of male
