MOUNTING SUGGESTIONS
At Chest, At Knees (Preferred)
A
Taking into account the user's needs, find a
suitable mounting location on the wheelchair
that allows the belt to be mounted at one of the
preferred positions shown.
INSTALLATION
Direct Screw Mounting
If mounting directly to chair frame or solid seats/backs,
use 6mm (1/4-20) Flat head or Button head screws.
Mounting screws must have a minimum pullout
strength of 90kg (200lbs). Not included in package.
POSITIONING
Seat user in shower/commode chair and establish correct

ADJUSTMENT
With the user correctly seated, check the fit of the belt – it should be snug
so the user is secure. Small adjustments in fit are done using the D-ring
tightening strap. Large adjustments in fit are done using the mounting
grommets.

to check fit. Check for:
1. Normal operation of buckle and adjustment straps.
