B. General Warnings
WARNING: Do not attempt to the lift the wheelchair by holding on to removable parts such as
the arms or footrests. Only lift the wheelchair by holding on to the frame. This may cause a fall
or loss of control and result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the bolts and hardware that attaches various components
together on the frame. This could cause serious damage and affect the safety and durability of
the wheelchair.
C. Positioning Belts
Positioning belts are designed to assist with proper positioning within the wheelchair. They are
not designed as seat belts. Use positioning belts ONLY to help support the user's posture.
Misuse of positioning belts may cause severe injury to or death of the user.
• Ensure the user does not slide underneath the positioning belt in the wheelchair seat. If this
occurs, the user's breathing may be hampered causing death or serious injury.
• The positioning belt should have a snug fit; tight enough to hold their position, but not so
tight as to restrict breathing. You should be able to slide your hand between the positioning
belt and the user.
• NEVER Use Positioning Belts:
a. As a restraint. A restraint requires a doctor's order.
b. On a user who is unconscious.
c. As an occupant restraint in a motor vehicle. A positioning belt is not designed to replace
a seat belt that is attached to the frame of a vehicle, which would be required of an
effective seat belt. During a sudden stop, with the force of the stop, the user would be
thrown forward. Wheelchair seat belts will not prevent this, and further injury may result
from the belts or straps.
WARNING: Failure to comply with the instruction above could result in serious injury or
death.
