attach each of the karabiner, J-hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to
the wheelchair frame, (Fig. 7). (Some wheelchairs will indicate these tie-down
positions, Fig. 8). Press the yellow button(s) again to remove the webbing slack

frame, (Fig. 7). (Some wheelchairs will indicate these tie-down positions,

the webbing is equally taut on each side.

and at an angle of around 30 to 45°, (Fig. 9).

Release the tension in the rear
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 14A), and extending
the webbing to allow the karabiner,
J-hook or tongue and buckle

the webbing with the hand wheel,
(Fig. 14B), while pressing the yellow
button, to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro Solo.

the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the
raised protrusion on the cleat is
aligned with the indent on the floor
anchors, (Fig. 7A & B). Slide off.
3. Pull the tie-down away from the
floor anchor and store safely.
