BraunAbility EASISIT, User Manual

Fit and use

1. 

The EasiSit may have been fitted with a variety of different passenger 

restraint 

options. It will be necessary to identify which options are fitted 

to the EasiSit being used, so that the attendant can best address the 

needs of both the wheelchair user and the able bodied passengers.

The options are as follows:

•  Left hand seat belt with height adjuster.
•  Right hand seat belt with height adjuster.
•  Both left & right hand seat belts with height adjusters forming a ‘Cross’ 

Strap.

The seatbelts and stalks are colour coded to ensure that they are correctly 

fitted.

Note: 

The occupant restraint may be split to allow the lap belt element 

to pass through the arms of fixed arm wheelchairs, allowing for a more 

comfortable and better fitting belt.

Fitting the seatbelt:

1. 

Pull enough webbing and fittings from the shoulder exit and fit black 

tongue (Fig 7A) into black stalk (Fig 7B) to form the diagonal belt. 

Alternatively fit grey tongue (Fig 7A1) into grey stalk (Fig 7B1).

2. 

Pull the grey tongue (Fig 7C) across the occupant (through a fixed 

armrest if 

necessary) and clip into stalk (Fig 7D). Alternatively fit the black 

tongue (Fig 7C1) into black stalk.

3. 

Adjust the height adjuster buckle for a comfortable fit across the 

occupant shoulder. This completes the lap and diagonal restraint (Fig 8) .

4. 

If fitting a ‘cross strap’ repeat the procedure with the remaining strap. 

Converting back to a seat

1.  Check that the karabiner 

straps are in their retracted 

storage position, clipped 

to the front leg cross rail, 

and that the foot pedal is 

depressed and locked down. 

Note

: This is important to 

remove any possible trip 

hazard to other passengers 

and to keep the webbing 

clean and tidy.

2.  Push in the ends of the 

telescopic stand off bar. 

Stand in front of the EasiSit, 

hold the sides of the seat 

cushion and push it down 

to allow the frame to ‘hinge’ 

down to its horizontal 

position. 

3.  Fit Tongue C into stalk D 

and tongue C1 into stalk 

B, ready to be used as a 

standard seating passenger 

seatbelt.
