unauthorized and unsafe.
WARNING! This harness must be properly fitted to
support the user's trunk and shoulders without causing
injury. Have your seating specialist demonstrate its
proper adjustment and use.
• A harness that is too tight can restrict respiration and
increase pressure across the shoulders and chest.
• A harness that is too loose can allow the user to slip
down and may create a risk of strangulation.
• Accidental release of this shoulder harness can allow
the user to fall forward.
• A user's inability to self-release can be hazardous if
the user slips down or is trapped in the chair in an
emergency.
If the user's physical or cognitive abilities could prevent
them from safely operating this harness, a caregiver
must be present at all times during its use. Ensure that
all caregivers know how to correctly adjust and unfasten
the product.
