Pass the other ends of the strap
through the gap between the
backrest posts and the backrest
upholstery as shown above.

Feed the bracket ends of the
straps under the backrest brace
bar as shown. Ensure that the
adjuster buckles can be accessed
& the strap is not twisted.

Pass the bolt through the plain
washer & strap bracket.
(Fig. 23)
Place a saddle washer on the bolt
(Fig. 24).
Pass the bolt through the seat fra-
me. Mount as shown above for the
36-46cm, (14”-18”), seat depth.
Mount the bolt the other way
round, with the head on the inside,
for seat depths greater than 51cm,
(20”), to avoid a clash with the
back post bracket
(Fig. 25).
Place the other saddle washer on
the end of the bolt and against the
frame. Fit the plain washer & nut.
Tighten using a 4.0mm Allen key &
10.0mm spanner
(Fig. 26).
Adjust the lap strap to suit, leaving
no more than a hand’s width gap
for comfort & safety. When servi-
cing, check for correct operation of
the release buckle & for any signs
of wear on the material or plastic
brackets
(Fig. 27).
Notes
1. Standard Sling - Lap belt movement is restricted by upholstery
2. Contoured back - Use universal bottom bracket as per recline
back method
Maintenance
Check lap belt, and securing components, at regular intervals for
any sign of frays, or damage. Replace if necessary
4.9. Armrests-removing
The armrests on both sides of the
wheelchair can be moved to allow
side transfer. (For Hand Control
removal see section 4.2.) Please
refer to your appropriate armrest
type.
Single Post Armrest (Comfort,
Rehab and Recaro Seat):
Release the handle screw on the
side of the armrest receiver and
remove armrest (
Fig. 28 ).
Flip-back armrest (Perfect Fit
seat):
For side transfer simply flip the arm-
rest all the way up until it goes into
its mechanical stop. This frees your
space for side transfer.
Reclining armrest (Perfect Fit
Seat):
Unlock the quick release mecha-
nism at the bottom front pivot of the
armrest. Lift the armrest off the
receiver. You can now turn it to the outside, flip it backwards or
release also the rear part of the armrest to take it fully off (
Fig. 29 ).
4.10. Armrests-replacment
Please refer to your appropriate armrest type.
Single Post Armrest (Comfort, Rehab and Recaro Seat):
Place the armrest tube in the armrest receiver. Fix and tighten it
with the handle screw on the side of the armrest receiver (
Fig. 28 ).
Flip-back armrest (Perfect Fit seat):
Simply flip the armrest all the way down until it sits on its mechani-
cal stop. Guide it in its downward movement and do not let it fall
on its own.
