from falling out.
To fix the user with a belt, it is necessary to insert both halves of the lock
into each other (Fig. 9.5), until a characteristic click appears. Then check
its tension. The belt is removed by pressing the red button.
Length adjustment of the belt is carried out by pulling the outer part of
the belt through the attachment points to the lock. Excess belt length is
compensated by a plastic slider.

adjusted and not create strong pressure on the internal organs. In this
case, the tension of the belt should ensure a reliable fixation of the
human body, excluding its free movement in the chair during movement.
