USAGE GUIDELINES

For Wheelchair Application:

• Place the 2-inch nylon belt around the back of the wheelchair, threading it between the armrest and side plate.
• The pelvic strap may be applied under the seat, under the resident between seat and user, or under a cushion (recommended placement before seating).
• Once the resident is seated, thread the belt through the loop and close the side-release buckle.
• Pass the two straps under the chair through the space between the seat and back. Wrap each strap around the rear handbars and fasten.
• Tighten the waist and pelvic straps as needed for a secure but comfortable fit.

For Geri-Chair Application:

• Before seating the resident, place the 2-inch nylon belt around the geri-chair backrest.
• Position the pelvic strap on the seat with the loop facing forward, and thread the two straps between seat and back if chair design allows.
• Once the resident is seated, thread the belt through the front loop and secure it with the buckle.
• Attach the straps around the chair legs using the provided buckles, adjusting the length as necessary for a secure fit.

Note: Some geri-chair designs may not allow threading through the seat—confirm compatibility before application.
