3.13 Hip belt

It is possible for the wheelchair to be
fitted with a positioning belt. The hip
belt offers extra seating stability under
normal use.
The hip belt is attached as follows
(figure 22):
1. Attach the belt buckle (A) using a
nut and bolt.
2. Pass the belt through the buckle.

Check that the hip belt is
correctly adapted to the
wheelchair user. The belt should
lie firmly over the hip at an angle
of approx. 45°.

Placing the belt over the hip,
against the soft skin of the
stomach, can result in the wrong
sitting position and the user
sliding forward in the
wheelchair.

Make sure the belt is clean and
that the locking mechanism
works at all times. The belt and
locking mechanism can be
cleaned using a damp cloth.

Never use the hip belt as a safety
belt when transporting the user
in the wheelchair.
