See Figure 1.
1. The wheelchair should always point forward, in the same direction that the vehicle is traveling.
2. Never position wheelchair in front of an activated air bag! Airbag must be deactivated.
3. Anchor straps shall only be secured to the wheelchair’s frame or designated attachment points.
Never attach to footrests, wheels or any detachable portion of the wheelchair. Never pass straps
through wheels of a wheelchair. Do not allow webbing to be twisted inside the retractor.
4. Do not allow the straps to conform or bend around any object such as wheels or footrests. The
securement straps must have a clear, straight load path from the fl oor tracks or plates to where
they attach to the wheelchair frame or designated attachment points. Keep the straps away from
any sharp edges or corners.
5. Floor anchorages such as tracks or plates should be free of dirt and debris, as they can interfere
with proper system operation.
6. Once you have all four straps attached, release the brakes on the wheelchair and check for
movement. Once secured, the wheelchair shouldn’t move more than two (2) inches front-to-back
or side-to-side. Reapply the brakes.
8. Do not cross-connect the securement strap assemblies. This may place added stress or unequal
load forces on the wheelchair frame and may lead to potential collapse or tipping of the wheelchair.
9. Protect straps from sharp edges and corners.
10. If proper attachment and securement of a particular style of wheelchair cannot be accomplished,
or if you have any doubt whatsoever, contact your dealer or AMF-Bruns.
Do not alter any of the restraint belts, PROTEKTOR® retractors or components. All four retractors are
interchangeable to any position (left, right, front, rear). Always keep retractors and belts together as a
complete kit. Items can be stored in the storage box or storage pouch.
NOTICE
Never use the cam buckle straps on all four points of attachment to the wheelchair frame. They should
be used only as front tie downs. The cam buckle strap is primarily a slack-removing device and can only
tension to the extent of the operator’s strength and angle of pull. At least two of the securement strap
assemblies need to have full tensioning capability, i.e. ratchet or over center buckles.
