Pelvic Restraint Belt...
The pelvic restraint belt should be fixed so that the belt sits at an
angle of 45 degrees across the user's pelvis. The user should
be upright and be as far back as possible in the seat when
correctly adjusted. The pelvic restraint belt should not allow the
user to slip down in the seat. (Fig. 5.42)

To fasten buckle:
Firmly push male buckle
into female buckle.
WARNING!
• If in doubt about the use and operation of the pelvic restraint
belt then ask your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer,
carer or attendant for assistance.
• If you want to retrofit a pelvic restraint belt, then please
contact your authorised Sunrise Medical dealer.
• The pelvic restraint belt must be checked on a daily basis to
ensure it is adjusted correctly and free from any obstruction
or adverse wear.
• Sunrise Medical does not encourage the transportation of any
person in a vehicle using this pelvic restraint belt as a method
of restraint.

advice on transportation.
Maintenance:
Check pelvic restraint belt and securing components at regular
intervals for any sign of fraying or damage. Replace if
necessary.
WARNING

Anti-Tip Tubes
Anti-Tip Tubes (Fig. 5.43)
Anti-tip tubes (1) provide
additional safety for
inexperienced users when they
are still learning how to operate
their wheelchairs. Anti-tip tubes
(1) prevent a wheelchair from
tipping over backwards. Pushing
the anti-tip tubes (1) will move
them downwards; they can also
be swung forward. An interval of
30mm to 50mm should be maintained between them and the
ground. You must swing the anti-tip tubes forward when going
up and down large ob stacles (such as a curb) to prevent them
from touching the ground.
Standard Sling
Standard Sling (Fig.5.44)
The sling is equipped with a
Velcro fastener on one side;
this permits stepless adjustment
of the sling. To readjust the
sling, first fold up the wheelchair
slightly. Then remove the screws
(1) and pull the front plugs (2)
forward out of the frame. The
sling (3) can then be slid off of the
frame. By unfastening the Velcro,
the sling can be readjusted. Reverse this pro cedure to reinstall
the sling. When finished, make sure that all screws have been
properly tightened (see the page on torque).
WARNING!
For proper safety, at least 50 % of the Velcro surfaces must
make contact with each other at all times.
Crutch Holder
Crutch Holder (Fig. 5.45)
This device permits crutches
to be transported directly on a
wheelchair. It has a Velcro loop
(1) to fasten crutches or other
aids.
WARNING!
Never try to use or even remove the crutches or other aids
while moving.
