danger!
• 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.
• Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to ensure
that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or adverse
wear and that the buckle engages securely.
• 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.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt and securing components at regular intervals for any
sign of fraying or damage. Replace if necessary. Clean the lap belt
with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
danger!
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of
the belt is checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end
user inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length.
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt then ask
your healthcare professional, wheelchair dealer, carer or attendant
for assistance.
