Anti-Tip Tubes - Sunrise Medical BREEZY 200 Manual De Instrucciones

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.
Advice to Client
The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it is adjusted correctly and it is free from any obstruction
or adverse wear.
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 to dry.
Note
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.
Anti- Tip Tubes (Fig. 23):
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. Pressing the release button
allows the anti-tip tubes (1) to be moved upwards or removed. An interval of 3 cm to 5 cm should be maintained
between them and the ground.
You must swing the anti-tip tubes upwards when going up and down large obstacles (such as a curb) to prevent
them from touching the ground.
To release belt:
Press the exposed sides of the male buckle and push
towards the centre whilst gently pulling apart.
