NOTE Note that angles indicated are obtained by projecting the angle of each tie-down strap
onto a vertical plane parallel to the wheelchair reference plane (side view) or onto a vertical
plane that is perpendicular to the wheelchair reference plane (rear view).
1.
Bolted wheelchair tie-downs will have been installed in the vehicle in
accordance with our own and the vehicle converter’s instruction.
Note: if
fitting hardware, other than that provided in this kit, is to be used with the
equivalent fixing bolts (cross sectional and an equivalend grade), namely B.S.
Grade ’S’ (ISO 8.8).
Items torqued to 40Nm.
2. Dependent on retractor type, follow instruction:
Quattro: Press the release button(s), (Fig. 12A), to release the webbing and
attach each of the karabiner, hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to the
wheelchair’s rear frame (Fig. 14). (Some wheelchairs will indicate this position,
Fig. 7).
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. 12B), is NOT visible. Attach each of the
wheelchair attachments to the wheelchair’s rear frame. (Some wheelchairs
will indicate this position, Fig. 7). The yellow button must be pressed if
extending webbing with the label in view, (Fig. 12A). 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. 12C).
3. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 12C), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
4. Ensure that the webbing of each tie-down is approximately the same length,
and at an angle of around 30 to 45°, within the rear view zone, (Fig. 8).
5. An occupant restraint must now be fitted.
Removing the classic wheelchair tie-
down
IMPORTANT: First remove the
occupant restraint, as instructed in the
relevant manual.
1.
Release the tension in the rear
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 12A), and extending
the webbing to allow the karabiner
be removed from the wheelchair
frame. If the webbing is particularly
tight, it may be necessary to
slightly ’tension’ the webbing with
the hand wheel, (Fig. 12C), while
pressing the yellow button, to
remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
