Bolted wheelchair tie-downs will have been installed in the vehicle in
accordance with our own and the vehicle converter’s instruction.

2a. Quattro: Press the release button(s), (Fig. 15A), to release the webbing and
attach each of the karabiner, hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to the
wheelchair frame. (Some wheelchairs will indicate this position, Fig. 4). Press
the yellow button(s) again to remove the webbing slack.
2b. Quattro Express: Webbing can be extended from the reel without pressing
the yellow button if the lock label, (Fig. 5) is NOT visible. Attach each of the
karabiner, hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to the wheelchair front
frame. (Some wheelchairs will indicate this position, Fig. 4). The yellow button
must be pressed if extending webbing with the label in view, (Fig. 15A). The
webbing will retract automatically into the reel.
IMPORTANT: The yellow
locking label must be fully visible to ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 5).

and at an angle of around 40 to 60°, (Fig. 3).

while pressing the release button,
in order to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro.
