Retractable tie downs (TOR)
Fit and use
TOR HD Quattro Express
Bolted - rear wheelchair tie-down
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.
Extend the webbing and attach the karabiner fixing around the wheelchair’s
securement points with the open gate facing outboard, (Fig. 13A).
Note: It is
not necessary to press the yellow button. 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, (Fig. 13B). Some wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 9).
3. Slack in the webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel to create an
angle of around 30° to 45° and within the rear view zone, (Fig. 7).
4. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 13B),
until the webbing is equally taut on each side. The webbing will retract
automatically into the reel.
IMPORTANT: the yellow label must be visible, to
ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 3).
5. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express webbing is approximately of the same
length.
Removing the TOR HD Quattro
Express 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. 13B), 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. 13C), while
pressing the yellow button, to
remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
