NOTE: DO NOT reposition the lap belt mounting
location from the factory installation on the TRANS-

NOTE: Stabilize from the ground up. A stable base
(seat) and footrest are the first steps to a stable
pelvis. Also, the user should be lightly clothed for
the initial adjustment.
NOTE: A belt angle of 45o will usually provide the
best stability and positioning. The belt will apply its
pressure directly to the hips, usually allowing more
force to be applied without discomfort.
NOTE: The most desirable location for the mount-
ing screws will be determined by the size of the
client involved and the angle achieved by trying the
various attachment points with the client seated
comfortably in the wheelchair.
