Fit and use
Fitting and using combined retractable tie-down and
occupant restraint
Removing the wheelchair tie-down
1. Release the tension in the rears by
pressing the yellow button
(Fig 17A) and extend the webbing
to allow the tongue & buckles,
hooks or karabiners 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 17B),
whilst pressing the yellow button, in
order to remove the webbing lock
on the Quattro Solo.
2. Remove each Quattro Solo from
the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the
raised protusion on the cleat is
aligned with the indent on the
floor anchors, (Fig 15). Slide off.
Note:
protrusion and indent are
only applicable with spring loaded
anchors, not with static anchors S10.
3. Pull the tie-down away from the
floor anchor and store safely.
1.
The floor anchors will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our
own and the vehicle converters instruction.
2. Attach the front wheelchair tie-down (not supplied as part of this product) in
accordance with its own instruction.
3.
Place the combined rear retractable restraint next to the floor anchor behind
the wheelchair. It is acceptable to use the restraint either for left hand or right
hand use. The double inertia reel (Fig 17) should be fitted to the rail adjacent to
the 3
rd
point anchorage. When possible, the rear retractable tie-down should
be positioned with the karabiner or hook gates facing outboard from the
wheelchair (Fig 17). If using tongue & buckle, the buckle may be positioned
facing inboard or outboard (Fig 2).
4.
Install the restraint(s) onto the floor anchors by aligning the protrusion within
each cleat to the slot on the floor anchors (Fig 15).
5. Slide the cleat fully home, (Fig 16), rotate the assemblies through 90° to allow
the karabiners, hooks or tongue & buckles to be attached to the wheelchair
frame.
6. Press the yellow release button(s) (Fig 17A), to extend the webbing and attach
the karabiner(s), hook(s) or tongue & buckle(s) around the wheelchair main
frame. Some wheelchairs will indicate this rear frame tie-down position (Fig 5).
7. Press each Quattro release button once again to take up the slack in the
webbing and create an angle of around 30 to 45° and within the rear view zone
(Fig 6).
8. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle (Fig 17B), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
9.
The occupant restraint must now be fitted - refer to pages 12-15.
