Foot Platform Angle Adjustment
You can adjust the angle of the foot platform with a
socket or wrench.
To adjust the foot platform angle:

figure 22.
2. Turn the screw to raise or lower the front of the
foot platform.
Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning
belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fig-
ure 23. 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 23.
2. Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until
it is secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.
