Fit and use
Fitting and using combined retractable tie-down and
occupant restraint
Quattro with retractable occupant restraint - 3 Point system
1.
Position the third point fixing into the cant rail, (Fig 8), so that it is vertically
above the inertia reel casing fixed onto the floor fixing. Unfasten the tongue
and buckle.
2.
Moving to the inertia reel, pull the black webbing upwards and unfasten the
tongue from the grey webbing buckle.
3.
Position the black webbing to form the lap belt and insert the tongue into the
buckle stalk, (Fig 9).
4.
Ensure that the lap belt lays low on the pelvis of the occupant, running as close
as possible over the hips on both sides.
5.
Remove the black plastic cover on the grey shoulder belt tongue, if necessary,
and fit into the third point fixing.
6.
Position the grey webbing to form the shoulder belt and insert the buckle into
the tongue.
7.
Adjust the height of the shoulder belt to clear the occupant's shoulder by
approximately 25mm or 1 inch, (Fig 10).
8.
The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of 30°
or more to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in order to fit
low across the pelvis reducing the possibility of the belt loading the abdomen,
(Fig 7). The pelvic restraint is designed to bear upon the bony structure of the
body and should be worn low across the front of the pelvis with any junctions
between the pelvic and shoulder restraints located near the wearers hips.
Removing the occupant restraint
1.
Release the grey shoulder belt
from the lap belt section, then
from the third point fixing and
carefully allow the shoulder belt
to return to the retractor.
2.
Disconnect the black lap belt
from the buckle stalk on the aisle
side and carefully allow the lap
belt webbing to return onto it's
retractor.
3.
Connect the shoulder belt buckle
to the lap belt tongue above the
opening of the retractor box.
4.
The wheelchair tie-down should
now be removed.
