Combined retractable tie-down and occupant restraints
Fit and use
Fitting and using combined retractable tie-down and
occupant restraint
Quattro with retractable occupant restraints - Wheelchair tie-down
1.
The rail will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our own and
the vehicle converter's instruction. Position the wheelchair within the vehicle as
required.
2.
Attach the front wheelchair tie-down (not supplied as part of this product) in
accordance with its own instruction.
3.
Place the combined rear retractable restraint into the rail behind the wheelchair.
It is acceptable to use the restraint either for left hand or right hand use. The
double inertia reel (Fig 4) should be fitted to the rail adjacent to the 3rd point
anchorage. When possible, the rear retractable tie-down should be positioned
with the karabiner or hook gates face outboard from the wheelchair, (Fig 1). If
using tongue & buckle, the buckle may be positioned facing inboard or outboard,
(Fig 2).
4.
Attach each tie-down into the floor rail by aligning the ATF (aluminium track
fitting) feet with the cut-out sections of the rail, (Fig 3). Note: the yellow plungers
must face toward the rear of the vehicle. Press down on the ribbed part of
the ATF, (Fig 3A), and push firmly down towards the wheelchair until the yellow
plunger drops and locks into the rail.
5.
Press the yellow Quattro release button(s), (Fig 4A) to extend the webbing and
attach the karabiner(s), hook(s) or tongue and buckle arrangement(s) around the
wheelchair main frame. Some wheelchairs will indicate this rear frame tie-down
position, (Fig 5).
6.
Press each Quattro release button once again to take up the slack in the webbing
and create an angle of around 30 to 45° and within the rear view zone, (Fig 6).
7.
Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig 4B), until the
webbing is equally taut on each side.
8.
The occupant restraint must now be fitted.
Removing the wheelchair
tie-down
1. Release the tension in the rears
by pressing the yellow button
and extend the webbing to
allow the karabiner(s) / hook(s)/
tongue & buckles(s) to be
removed from the wheelchair
frame. If the webbing is
particularly tight, it may be
necessary to slightly 'tension'
with the hand wheel whilst
pressing the yellow button, in
order to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro.
2. Lift the yellow plunger fully,
slide back away from the
wheelchair to align the ATF
feet with the rail cut outs, lift
away from the rail and store
securely.
