Wheelchair Passenger Securement: Two lap belt
extensions are supplied for securement of the wheel-
chair occupant. The lap belt extensions are equipped
with a keeper fitting (attachment) which installs in the
vehicle-mounted “L” track. A female receptacle is
positioned on the opposite end of the extension for
attachment to a Chrysler factory-installed upper torso
lap and shoulder belt.
Note: The midpoint lap belt extension is a standard
belt style assembly (adjustable). The front seat
extension is equipped with a rigid cable (nonadjust-
able). See photos on page 26. Lap belt extensions
are not interchangeable. Attachment procedures
are identical. See the illustrations on pages 30 and
31 and photos on page 33.
Operate the Chrysler lap and shoulder belt as
instructed in your Chrysler owner’s manual. Follow
all safety precautions. Connect the Chrysler lap and
shoulder belt to the lap belt extension. Position the
upper torso (shoulder) belt across the center of the
shoulder. Position the lap belt low across the front of
the pelvis (near hip). See the illustrations on pages
30 and 31 and photos on page 33.
Position of the lap belt buckle, after adjustment, is to
be located near hip position. The belt is to be worn
low and snugly. Adjustment of the lap belt extension is
to be made at adjuster buckle. Wheelchair occupant
restraints should not be held away from the body by
wheelchair components such as armrests or wheels.
Keep belts clear of sharp objects. Do not alter belts.
Do not interchange belts from one position to another.
Keep the supplied belts together as a complete set.
Belt and Track Maintenance: Inspect belt assem-
blies frequently. Any defects such as belt cuts, fraying
or malfunctioning call for replacement of the entire belt
assembly. “L” track must be clean and not worn, bent
or otherwise damaged (prohibiting proper belt attach-
ment). If there is any sign of damage, wear, abnormal
condition or improper operation of belts, belt hardware
(hooks, keepers, latch plate, receptacle), or track, dis-
continue use and replace components immediately.
Severe conditions (weather, environment, heavy
usage, etc.) may require more frequent inspections.
Exposure to severe conditions will dramatically reduce
the life of the system.
