Adjust the pelvic restraint belt to suit the user's needs as
follows:
To reduce the belt length
Feed free belt back
through male buckle and
slide adjusters.
Ensure belt is not looped
at male buckle.
When fastened check space between the pelvic restraint belt
and user. When correctly adjusted it should not be possible to
insert more than the flat of the hand between the pelvic restraint
belt and the user. (Fig.11.3).
The lap belt should be fxed so that the belt sits at an angle of 45
degrees across the users pelvis. The user should be upright and
be as far back as possible in the seat when correctly adjusted.
The lap belt should not allow the user to slip down in the seat.
