If the C2000 power wheelchair is equipped with a Recaro
seat, there is the possibility of retrofitting a four-way chest
strap or chest belt.
The four-way chest strap / chest belt makes it possible to
restrain the patient in the C2000 power wheelchair. The
lower strap should be placed between the pelvic bone and
thigh, and should not be too tight. The belt buckle is posi-
tioned at the front of the body, in the centre. The shoulder
straps should be positioned evenly on both sides on the tho-
rax, and should not be too tight.
Applying the Four-way Chest Strap / Chest Belt
1. To close the four-way chest strap, connect all parts of
the belt buckle. The belt buckle must snap in place audi-
bly.
2. Verify that the belt has locked by trying to pulling it apart.
The four-way chest strap / chest belt should not be too
tight on the body. Objects caught under the belt can
cause painful pressure sores.
Changing the belt length
To increase the length of the belt, turn the buckle by 90° and
pull. To reduce the length of the belt, pull the overhanging
belt end.
