The user should ALWAYS wear the hip and chest belt while in the Xplore. If it is discovered
that
user’s movement pattern is being impaired by the belt
s, these could be slightly loosened
and, if necessary, lowered slightly. This will give the user better freedom of movement, while at
the same time preventing the user from falling out of the product.

How to get the user out of the Xplore
Move the Xplore close to the area to which the user will be transferred.
There are 3 main ways of getting the user out of the Xplore: some assistance/lifting, by transferring
the user or by using a sling/harness. Common to all methods is that the user is transferred from the
Xplore by lifting or being transferred from the seat to a chair, wheelchair or bed, etc. For the
smallest and lightest users, it is usually easiest to lift them from the seat. Heavier users can be
assisted from the seat into standing if their functional abilities allow such.. For heavier users, it may
be appropriate to use a personal lifter or hoist in order to ensure safe and comfortable transfer for
both the user and the assistant. When using a sling/harness this must be attached to the user and
the lifter before loosening chest and hip belts on the Xplore in order to ensure safe transfer.
Always ensure that the user is secured by the assistant at all stages of the transfer when
belts on the Xplore are released.
