Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt
that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure 15.
The positioning belt is designed to support the operator so
that he/she does not slide down or forward in the seat. The
positioning belt is not designed for use as a restraining
device.
WARNING! The positioning belt should be
secured at all times. Never allow the
positioning belt to hang or drag on the floor
as it may become entangled.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Remove the rearmost screw that holds the seat hinge to
the seat base on both the left and right seat hinges.
2. Insert the screw through the supplied washer, through
the positioning belt and into the seat base for each side
of the power chair seat.
3. Tighten both screws.
To adjust the positioning belt for operator comfort:
1. Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the belt
into the plastic housing on the opposite side until you
hear a click. See figure 15.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until it is
secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
To release the positioning belt:
1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic hous-
ing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning
belt is properly secured to the power chair
and is adjusted for operator comfort before
each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt
for loose parts or damage, including tears,
worn spots, bent hardware, damaged latch
mechanism, dirt or debris, before each use
of the power chair. If you discover a
problem, contact your authorized Pride
Provider for maintenance and repair.
