restraints should not be held away from the body by wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.
Keep belts clear of sharp objects. Do not alter belts. Do not interchange belts from one position to another. Keep the supplied belts together as a complete set.

Any defects such as belt cuts, fraying or malfunctioning call for replacement of the entire belt assembly. “L” track must be clean and not worn, bent or otherwise damaged (prohibiting proper belt attachment). If there is any sign of dam- age, wear, abnormal condition or improper operation of belts, belt hardware (hooks, keepers, latch plate, receptacle), or track, discontinue use and replace components immediately.
Severe conditions (weather, environment, heavy usage, etc.) may require more frequent inspections. Exposure to severe conditions will dramatically reduce the life of the system.
