Combined retractable tie-down and occupant restraints
Fit and use
Fitting and using combined webbing tie-down and
occupant restraint
Quattro Express with Retractable occupant restraint: Wheelchair tie-down
1. The Solo anchors will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our
own and the vehicle converters instruction.
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 selft-retracting restraint next to the floor anchor behind
the wheelchair. It is acceptable to use the restraint either for left hand or right
hand use. The double inertia reel (Fig 19) should be fitted adjacent to the 3rd point
anchorage. When possible, the rear self-retracting tie-down should be positioned
with the karabiner or hook gates facing outboard from the wheelchair, (Fig 19).
4. Install the restraint(s) onto the floor anchors by aligning the protrusion within
each cleat to the slot on the floor anchors (Fig 16). Slide the cleat fully home,
(Fig 17), rotate the assemblies through 90° to allow the karabiners or hooks to be
attached to the wheelchair frame.
5. Pull the webbing and attach the karabiner(s) or hook(s) arrangement(s) around
the wheelchair main frame. Some wheelchairs will indicate this rear frame tie-
down position, (Fig 5). Note: It is not necessary to press yellow button. Webbing
can be extended from the reel without pressing the yellow button. The yellow
locking label, (Fig 15) must be visible.
6. Slack in the webbing with be taken in automatically by the reel to 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 19B) until
the webbing is equally taut on each side. The webbing with retract automatically
into the reel. IMPORTANT: The yellow locking label must be fully visible, to
ensure that the reel is locked off (Fig 15).
8. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express Solo webbing is approximately of the
same length.
9. The occupant restraint must now be fitted - refer to pages 12-15
Removing occupant restraint
1.
Release the tension in the rears by
pressing the yellow button (Fig 19A)
and extend the webbing to allow the
karabiner(s)or hooks to be removed
from the wheelchair frame. If the
webbing is particularly tight, it may
be necessary to slightly 'tension'
with the hand wheel (Fig 19B) whilst
pressing the yellow button, in order
to remove the webbing lock on the
Quattro Express.
2.
Remove each Quattro Express Solo
from the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the raised
protusion on the cleat is aligned
with the indent on the floor anchors,
(Fig 16). Slide off. Note: protrusion
and indent are only applicable with
spring loaded anchors, not with static
anchors S10.
3.
Pull the tie-down away from the floor
anchor and store safely.
