Removing the classic wheelchair tie-
down
1.
Release the tension in the rear
tie-downs by pressing the release
button, (Fig. 9B) and extending the
webbing to allow the karabiner,
J-hook or tongue and buckle
arrangements 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. 9D),
while pressing the release button,
in order to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro.
2.
Remove each Quattro Solo from
the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the
raised protrusion on the cleat is
aligned with the indent on the floor
anchors (Fig. 10). Slide off.
3.
Pull the tie-down away from the
floor anchor and store safely.

1.
The Solo floor anchors will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance
with our own and the vehicle converter’s instruction. Position the wheelchair
within the vehicle as required.
2.
When using Quattro tie-down with J-hooks, hooks or karabiners, ensure that
the karabiner gates, or hook and J-hook openings are facing outwards. If using
tongue and buckle, the buckle may be positioned facing inboard or outboard.
3.
Install each front retractor clear onto a front Solo anchor (sprung or fixed) by
aligning the open mouth of the cleat, (Fig. 11B), and the protrusion, (Fig. 11A),
to the slot on the floor anchor. Slide the cleat fully home (allowing the keyway
within the cleat to guide into its home position, Fig. 10A & 10B) and rotate the
cleat through 90° to align the retractor with the wheelchair frame, (Fig. 10).
4.
Dependent on retractor type, follow instruction:
Quattro: Press the release button(s), (Fig. 9B), to release the webbing and
attach each of the karabiner, hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to the
wheelchair’s front frame. (Some wheelchairs will indicate this position, Fig. 3).
Press the yellow button(s) again to remove the webbing slack.
Quattro Express: Webbing can be extended from the reel without pressing
the yellow button if the lock label, (Fig. 9C), is NOT visible. Attach each of the
wheelchair attachments to the wheelchair’s front frame. (Some wheelchairs
will indicate this position, Fig. 3). The yellow button must be pressed if
extending webbing with the label in view, (Fig. 9B). 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. 9C).
5.
Ensure that the webbing of each tie-down is approximately the same length,
and at an angle of around 40 to 60°, within the front view zone, (Fig. 5).
6.
A rear tie-down must now be fitted.
