WHEELCHAIR TIEDOWN AND OCCUPANT RESTRAINT
Wheelchair Tiedown
Four QRT retractable straps are
provided for securement of the
wheelchair (two for the front and
two for the rear).
Each QRT retractor is equipped
with a Slide' N Click keeper fitting
(attachment) which installs on the
vehicle-mounted pocket anchorage
point (detailed on pages 30 and
31). A hook (securement point) is
positioned on the opposite end of
the straps for attachment to a solid
frame member of the wheelchair.
Do not attach strap to detachable
wheelchair components such as
armrests or leg rests. Front and
rear strap tension is required.
Refer to the illustrations, photos
and instructions on pages 30-37 for
strap and belt operation procedures.
