5. Lap belt
Before using your wheelchair ensure the seat belt is worn and correctly adjusted before use.
The lap belt is fitted to the wheelchair as shown in the illustrations. The lap belt is fitted between the armrest support
and the backrest tube. The belt should then be run across the outside of the back upholstery.
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.

It is important that the belt is
routed around the back of the
wheelchair. The buckle end can be fed
between the armrest and backrest.
Adjust the belt position so that the buckles
are in the centre of the seat.
Ensure the belt is not looped at the
male buckle
