Combined retractable tie-down and occupant restraints
Fit and use
Fitting and using combined webbing tie-down and
occupant restraint
Floor anchor - 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 self-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 18) should be fitted adjacent to the 3rd point
anchorage. When possible, the rear self-retracting tie-down should be positioned
with the tongue & buckle or karabiner/hook gates facing outboard from the
wheelchair, (Fig 18).
4. Install the restraint(s) onto the floor anchors by aligning the protrusion within each
cleat to the slot on the floor anchors (Fig 15). Slide the cleat fully home,
(Fig 16), rotate the assemblies through 90° to allow the tongue & buckle, hooks or
karabiners to be attached to the wheelchair frame.
5. Pull the webbing and attach the tongue & buckle(s), hook(s) or karabiner(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 14) must be visible.
6. Slack in the webbing will 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 18B) until
the webbing is equally taut on each side. The webbing will retract automatically
into the reel. IMPORTANT: The yellow locking label must be fully visible, to
ensure that the reel is locked off (Fig 14).
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 18A) and extend the
webbing to allow the tongue
& buckles, hooks or karabiners
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 18B),
whilst pressing the yellow button,
in order to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro Express Solo.
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 15). 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.
