Wheelchair Installation Guide

Congratulations and thank you for choosing to install a LapStacker on your wheelchair.
Please read this installation guide carefully to ensure your Lap Stacker is installed and used correctly and safely.

Warnings – Please read carefully

Warnings – General

  • LapStacker is not a seatbelt, safety device, or medical device.
  • LapStacker is designed as an aid only.
  • Do not use your LapStacker to secure people or animals.
  • Carefully place and monitor items as they can still move, even with your LapStacker securing them.
  • Do not exceed any specific wheelchair manufacturer’s guidelines for loading or usage of attachments.
  • In no event shall our company be liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential damages to property or life, whatsoever arising out of or connected with the use or misuse of our products.

Warnings – Injury

  • Do not use your LapStacker to secure items with the potential to cause an injury.
    These may include sharp, hot or heavy items.

  • Over tightening the LapStacker straps when securing items may cause a loss of circulation, a pressure injury or damage to any item/s being carried.

  • Avoid contact with your newly installed LapStacker while transferring in and out of the wheelchair. Failure to do so may result in injury or damage.

  • Do not use your LapStacker for extensive periods of time. This may result in loss of circulation or pressure injury.

  • Do not stack items too high as this may reduce visibility and lead to a collision that causes injury.

Warnings – Installation

  • If you are installing your LapStacker and moving existing components around, such as arm rests or leg restraints, please ensure they are reinstalled and secured correctly. Failure to do so may result in their failure and may cause injury.
  • The LapStacker Retractor has not been designed for submersion in water. Doing so will likely result in rusting of the internal components and may void the Warranty.
  • Wipe components clean with a damp cloth and avoid the use of chemical detergents, which may damage the plastic surfaces.
  • The straps may be cleaned using water and a damp cloth. We suggest removing the retractors, fully extending the straps and letting them dry before retracting the straps back into their housing again.
