PIN and PIN Heavy Duty wheelchair tie-down
Removing the self-retracting front
tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove the rear
wheelchair tie-down, as instructed on
pages 20-21.
1.
Release the tension in the front
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 12A), and extending
the webbing to allow the karabiner
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. 12B), while
pressing the yellow button to
remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
2. Lift the ATF yellow plunger fully
and slide back to align the ATF feet
with the rail cut-outs. Lift away
from the rail. Repeat operation with
the other side and store safely.

1.
The rail 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.
Install the front retractor by aligning the ATF (aluminum track fitting) feet with
the cut out sections of the rail. Press down in the ribbed part of the ATF (Fig.
11A) and push firmly until the yellow plunger drops and locks into the rail. It is
acceptable to use the restraint for either left-hand or right-hand use.
3. Extend the webbing and attach the karabiner, (Fig. 12C), around the
wheelchair’s securement point with the opening gate facing outboard, (Fig.
13). Some wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 4).
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. 12D) is
NOT visible. The yellow button must be pressed if extending webbing with the
label in view, (Fig. 12A).
4. Install the second front retractor ATF in the same way, ensuring that each
fitting is opposite each other, if using rail lengths which have adjustability in
ATF positioning.
IMPORTANT: Check that the clips are fully engaged on
both sides.
5. Ensure that each front 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. 6).
IMPORTANT: The yellow label must be visible, to
ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 12D).
6. Slack in the webbing will automatically be taken up by the reel. Apply brakes
to the wheelchair.
