Advice to client
Do not rely on the lap belt only when the wheelchair
and occupant are transported in a vehicle, use the
separate occupant lap and diagonal restraints provided
in the vehicle.
Before use we recommend that the lap belt be checked to
ensure that it is adjusted correctly, free from any obstruction or
adverse wear and that the buckle engages securely.
Failure to make sure that the lap belt is secure and
adjusted prior to use could cause serious injury to the
user. e.g. too loose a strap may allow the user to slip
down in the chair and risk suffocation.
Maintenance:
Check lap belt, and securing components; at regular
intervals for any sign of fraying or damage. Replace if
necessary.
Clean the lap belt with warm soapy water and allow it to dry.
NOTE:
The lap belt should be adjusted to suit the end user as detailed
above
Sunrise Medical also recommend that the length and fit of the belt is
checked on a regular basis to reduce the risk of the end user
inadvertently re-adjusting the belt to an excessive length
If in doubt about the use and operation of the seat belt
then ask your healthcare professional, wheelchair
dealer, carer or attendant for assistance.
