Recommended distances are based on common wheelchair sizes.
Exceptionally large or small wheelchairs may require anchorage spacing
that differs from our recommendations. Consider optimal tie-down angles
to determine exact placement of floor anchorages
.
(
See Figure 1 below)
.
This product is designed for use as a front tie-down ONLY and is operated
using a switched and fused 12v DC power supply.
The following are the recommended best installation practices and distances
(center-to-center) between floor anchorages.
1)
Ensure the vehicle is parked on a suitable firm and level surface, taking care to not have
to
o
great of an incline and with the parking brake applied.
2)
Open the access door and position ramp.
3)
Position the wheelchair at the bottom of the ramp straight on and apply the
wheelchair brake so that it is secure while attaching the Electric Retractor hooks / loops.
4)
Turn on power to
the
Electric Retractors. This will unlock them and allow the webbing to
be pulled out.
5) H
old attachment device (hook / loop) and pull webbing out of the vehicle to

lock
the retractors and stop wheelchair from backing up on the ramp. It is recommended
to
