Adjust the lap belt to suit the user's needs as follows:
To increase the belt length:
Feed the belt through slide
adjusters and male buckle to
provide more belt length.
When fastened check space between the lap belt and the user, when correctly
adjusted it should be possible to insert the flat of the hand between the lap belt
and the user.
Generally the Lap Belt should be fixed so that the straps sit at an angle of approximately 45°, and
when correctly adjusted should not allow user to slip down in the seat.
To fasten buckle:
Firmly push the male buckle into female buckle.
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.
Advice to Client
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adjusted correctly and it is free from any obstruction
or adverse wear.
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.
To reduce the belt length:
Feed the belt back through male
buckle and slide adjusters.
To release belt:
Press the exposed sides of the male buckle and push
towards the centre whilst gently pulling apart.
Ensure the belt is not looped at the male
buckle
