ADVICE TO CLIENT
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.
