Positioning an person with a lap strap
• Adjust the lap strap to suit, leaving no more than a hand’s
width gap for comfort and safety (Fig 4.12).
• The hand clearance should be with the lap strap under
normal tension and not allow large gaps or loops.
• For your comfort, the Lap Belt must be correctly fitted to the
scooter. If you are unsure about the fitting or operation of
this option, please contact your approved Sunrise Medical
dealer.
• Generally, the lap strap should be fixed so that the straps
sit at an angle of approximately 45° (Fig. 4.13), and when
correctly adjusted should not allow user to slip down in the
seat.
• The lap belt must be checked on a daily basis to ensure it
is adjusted correctly and it is free from any obstruction or
adverse wear.
• 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 seat and
risk suffocation.
DANGER! / WARNING!
• Always make sure that the lap strap is correctly secured and
adjusted prior to use.
• If a strap is too loose it could cause the user to slip down
and cause serious injury.
• Check lap strap and securing components at regular intervals
for any signs of fray or damage. Replace if necessary.
• When servicing, check for correct operation of the release
buckle and for any signs of wear on the material or plastic
brackets.
• Regular Checks/Activities:
• As with all positioning components, there is a need for
corrective adjustments as the person changes their seating
position over time.
• Check the belts regularly for correct fitting, to ensure the
safety and comfort of the user.
