Retractable tie downs (TOR)
1.
When using TOR heavy duty Quattro Express tie-downs with karabiners,
ensure that the karabiner gates face outwards, (Fig. 10A)
2. Install each front retractor cleat onto a front Solo anchor by aligning the open
mouth of the cleat and the protrusion, (Fig. 11C), 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. 11A & B), and rotate the cleat through 90° to align the
retractor with the wheelchair frame, (Fig. 12).
3. Extend the webbing and attach the karabiner around the wheelchair’s
securement point with the open gate facing outboard, (Fig. 6). Some
wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 5).
Note: It is not necessary to press the yellow button, (Fig. 10B). Webbing can
be extended from the reel without pressing the yellow button if the lock
label, (Fig. 3), is NOT visible. The yellow button must be pressed if extending
webbing with the label in view.
4. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express webbing is approximately of the same
length and that an angle of around 40° to 60° has been created, within the
front view zone, (Fig. 4).
5. Slack in the webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel. Apply the
brakes to wheelchair.
Removing the TOR HD Quattro
Express wheelchair tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove occupant
restraint, as instructed in the
relevant manual.
1.
Release the tension in the front
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig 10B), and extending
the webbing to allow the karabiner,
(Fig. 10A), fixing to 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. 10C), while pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 10B), to remove the
webbing lock on the retractor.
2. Remove each front retractor from
the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the
raised protrusion, (Fig. 11C), on the
cleat is facing its parallel cleat.
3. Pull the tie-down away from the
floor anchor and store safely.
