8.9 Positioning & attaching
the Pelvic Band
There is a different pelvic band for prone
and supine standing. The pelvic band
should be attached to the user first, if
practical on a mat. The pelvic straps are
attached around the user's pelvis and then
when the user is secured into the frame (by
their feet and chest) the longer straps are
slipped through the belt bars (a) on the back
of the hip pad and secured firmly around the
user. The additional strap with the plastic
buckle and clip (b) should be secured to
ensure the straps are not accidentally
unfastened. To ensure that you can easily
identify the strap that goes around the user
and the one that attaches to the hip pad,
a Leckey label is sewn onto the one that
attaches to the hip pad.
Always make sure the safety buckle is
engaged so the Velcro straps are not
accidentally undone which could allow the
user to slide out of the product and cause
serious injury.

8.10 Positioning
Flexible Hip Laterals
The Flexible Laterals can be used as an
alternative to the pelvic band. The Laterals
can be individually adjusted in width as well
as in height. To adjust the width loosen the
knob (a) on the back of the hip pad, then
adjust the flexible laterals to the required
position and finally re-tighten the knobs.
For the height positioning of the Laterals
loosen the allen bolt (b), position the Lateral
as required and then re-tighten the bolts
securely. The flexible Laterals supports are
secured around the user by tightening the
safety strap into position. Fasten the safety
strap immediately.
Check the laterals are secure before
placing the user in the product. As if
they are loose the user may be at risk
of slipping out of the product and could
cause them serious injury.
