Informational Supplement | 13 |
The upper-torso belt anchor point should be anchored above and behind the top of the power chair occupant’s shoulder to ensure that the occupant is properly restrained during transport. Both the pelvic and upper-torso belt restraints should be adjusted as snugly as possible consistent with user comfort.
WARNING! The buckle of belt restraint systems should not be located near power chair components that may come in contact with the buckle release button in the event of a vehicle accident or collision.
If your power chair is equipped with a crash-tested pelvic belt that is anchored to the seat frame, complete the restraint system by attaching the lower end of the WTORS upper-torso belt to the pelvic belt by referring to the WTORS manufacturer’s instruction. Crash-tested power chair-anchored pelvic belts will be labeled to indicate compliance to the ANSI/RESNA WC/Vol 4, Section 19/ISO 7176-19 standards. See figure 10.
