Positioning Belt
Your power chair may be equipped with a positioning belt that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See figure 16. 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.
WARNING! The positioning belt should be secured at all times. Never allow the positioning belt to hang or drag on the floor as it may become entangled.
To install the positioning belt:
1. | Remove the rearmost screw that holds the seat hinge |
|
| to the seat base on both the left and right seat hinges. |
|
2. | Insert the screw through the supplied washer, |
|
| through the positioning belt and into the seat base for |
|
| each side of the power chair seat. |
|
3. | Tighten both screws. | Figure 16. Positioning Belt Adjustment |

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 until you hear a click. See figure 16.
2.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:
1. Press the push button mechanism on the plastic housing.
MANDATORY! Make sure the positioning belt is properly secured to the power chair and is adjusted for operator comfort before each use.
MANDATORY! Inspect the positioning belt for loose parts or damage, including tears, worn spots, bent hardware, damaged latch mechanisms, dirt or debris, before each use of the power chair. If you discover a problem, contact your authorized Pride Provider for maintenance and repair.
