IV. COMFORT ADJUSTMENTS
Positioning Belt
Your wheelchair may be equipped with a positioning
belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fig-
ure 37. 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 in a motor vehicle.
WARNING! If your wheelchair is
equipped with a transit securement
system, the positioning belt should
only be adjusted by a Quantum Rehab
Provider or a qualified technician.
To install the positioning belt:
1. Remove and discard the screws on both the left and
right sides. See figure 37.
NOTE: If your wheelchair is equipped with dual-post
armrests, the existing back cane screws must be
replaced with screws that are 2 in. (5 cm) long to
properly install the positioning belt.
2. Insert the hardware through the positioning belt and
then through each side of the wheelchair seat. See
figure 37.
3. Tighten both screws.
4. Install the positioning belt onto the bracket and pull
until the positioning belt snaps into place.
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 38.
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. Push the button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the
positioning belt is properly secured to
the wheelchair and is adjusted for
operator comfort before each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning
belt for loose or damaged parts before
each use of the wheelchair. If you
discover a problem, contact your
Quantum Rehab Provider for
maintenance and repair.
