Positioning Belt

 

 

 

 

Your wheelchair may be equipped with a positioning

belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fig-

ure 37. The positioning belt is designed to support the

operator so that he/she does not slide down or forward

in the seat. The positioning belt is not designed for use

as a restraining device in a motor vehicle.

 

WARNING!

If

your

wheelchair

is

equipped with a transit securement

system, the positioning belt should

only be adjusted by a Quantum Rehab

Provider or a qualified technician.

 

To install the positioning belt:

 

 

1. Remove and discard the screws on both the left and

right sides. See figure 37.

 

Figure 37. Positioning Belt Installation

NOTE: If your wheelchair is equipped with dual-post armrests, the existing back cane screws must be replaced with screws that are 2 in. (5 cm) long to properly install the positioning belt.

2. Insert the hardware through the positioning belt and then through each side of the wheelchair seat. See

figure 37.

3. Tighten both screws.

4. Install the positioning belt onto the bracket and pull until the positioning belt snaps into place.

To adjust the positioning belt for operator comfort:

1.

Once seated, insert the metal tab on one side of the

 

 

belt into the plastic housing on the opposite side

 

2.

until you hear a click. See figure 38.

Figure 38. Positioning Belt Adjustment

Pull the excess strap attached to the metal tab until

 

it is secure, but not so tight as to cause discomfort.

To release the positioning belt:

MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the wheelchair and is adjusted for operator comfort before each use.

MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose or damaged parts before each use of the wheelchair. If you discover a problem, contact your Quantum Rehab Provider for maintenance and repair.
