Removing the self-retracting
rear 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
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. 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.

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.
Install each rear retractor by aligning the ATF (aluminum track fitting) feet
with the cut out sections of the rail. Press down on the ribbed part of the ATF
(Fig. 11A) and push firmly until the yellow plunger drops and locks into the rail.
Install the second tie-down, ensure that each fitting is opposite each other.
It is acceptable to use the restraint for either left-hand or right-hand use.
IMPORTANT: Check that the clips are fully engaged on both sides.
2. Extend the webbing and attach the karabiner, (Fig. 12C), around the
wheelchair’s securement points with the open gate facing outboard, (Fig. 14).
Some wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 8).
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).
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. 9).
4. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 12B), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
IMPORTANT: the yellow label must
be visible, to ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 12D).
5. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express webbing is approximately of the same
length.
