Installing the Seat Positioning Strap

ƽ WARNING

ALWAYS wear your seat positioning strap. Inasmuch as the seat positioning strap is

an option on this wheelchair (you may order with or without the seat positioning

strap), Invacare strongly recommends ordering the seat positioning strap as an

additional safeguard for the wheelchair user. The seat positioning strap is a

positioning strap only. It is not designed for use as a safety device withstanding high

stress loads such as auto or aircraft safety belts. If signs of wear appear, strap MUST

be replaced IMMEDIATELY.

NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 11.3.

1. Remove the bottom back upholstery screw from the wheelchair.

2. Position the seat positioning strap half between the back cane and back upholstery.

3. Secure the back upholstery and seat positioning strap to the wheelchair with the

existing back upholstery screw.

NOTE: The screw MUST go through the grommet in the seat positioning strap.

4. Repeat STEPS 1-3 for the opposite side of the wheelchair.
