Tether Connector Strap
WARNING!
Only use the tether connector strap for
rear-facing tether installation.
Because every vehicle model is different,
sometimes you cannot find a location to properly
anchor the tether. Use the tether connector strap
to assist in creating an anchor point (Fig. D).
1
Find a fixed vehicle anchor point that is bolted
to the floor.
2
If you cannot find an acceptable location to
create an anchor point, contact the vehicle
manufacturer to identify a suitable tether
connection point.
3
Loop the strap around the metal anchor.
4
Take the metal D-ring and thread it through
the webbing loop on the other end of the
strap.
5
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until
the strap is tight around the metal anchor.
6
Use the D-ring as an attachment point for
hook on tether strap.
