Side-Squeeze Buckle
This is a strong but simple side squeeze buckle similar to that found on backpacks, it is used primarily to secure waistbelts and shoulder straps but also on occasion it can be used on understraps and inner-chair straps.
These buckles are made completely of plastic and therefore used extensively on bathing harnesses.
Seasure Lever Buckle
A lesser used buckle these days, primarily used on stairlift harnesses providing a secure connection with an inbuilt tensioner and simple press button release mechanism.
Care & Maintenance

If there is any query or problem with the suitability of the product, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Retain these instructions for future reference: It is most important that the operating & maintenance instructions are kept

IMPORTANT:
Our range of harnesses are not classed as safety harnesses.
The vehicle safety belt MUST be worn over the top of our harness unless they are exempt for medical reasons.
The combination of the existing safety belt & the secondary harness offers added security for the passenger.
General maintenance of our belts & harnesses.
Before each use check that the belt or harness is in a satisfactory condition and is appropriate for the user.
Ensure that all belts and harnesses are fitted, adjusted and used correctly.
It is also very important that they are maintained & cleaned in accordance with the instructions below:
- We strongly advise that a carer, O.T. or G.P. etc. Who is familiar with the patients requirements is consulted prior to the selection of a harness.
- The clients condition together with the type of seating/equipment is most important in choosing the most suitable belt/harness as an inappropriate
selection may prove uncomfortable or harmful for the occupant. - Please refer to the appropriate fitting instructions for each model of belt or harness. These are available for every product.
- Regularly inspect the belt or harness for damage, wear or malfunction.
- If any problems are identified replace it immediately: Belts and harnesses should be replaced if they show any sign of fraying or cuts.
- Regular checks are also necessary to assess the harness is still meeting the needs of the user as over time these needs may change.
- If the equipment was used during an accident, it should be replaced immediately.
- Avoid contact with corrosive liquids and keep the webbing away from sharp edges.
- If storing a harness with a PVC/Leatherette chest or back pad, do not fold as this may create creases which could cause discomfort to the passenger.
- Do not attempt to modify the equipment: Any modifications to our belts or harnesses will void the warranty.
