Installation (continued)
10. Buckle the seat belt to see that the clip has been correctly installed,
with all slack webbing gone and the restraint tightly in place.
11. Check to make sure the tether strap is not twisted and then tighten to
secure the upper portion of the restraint. If the vehicle does not have
a top tether anchor point, it will be necessary to use a bolt-in anchor
mounting bracket.
See Installation Without LATCH Top Tether
Anchors
.
12. DO NOT USE
this restraint without the tether strap properly installed.
13. Verify that the vehicle seat belt is tight and that the Positioning
Restraint System is secure. When properly installed, the restraint
will not move more that one inch (1”) from side to side and or front to
back. If the restraint is not secure, repeat steps 5 – 11.
Vehicle Lap Belt Only
1. Place the Positioning Restraint
System in a forward facing position
on the vehicle seat.
If the front edge
of the restraint extends more that
1” (25mm) beyond the front edge
of the seat, then the vehicle seat is
too shallow to properly support the
restraint system. If this is the case,
do not install.
2. Attach the tension adjuster hooks
of the tether to the upper anchor
points located on the sides of the Positioning Restraint System.
See
Installing the Tether Strap.
3. Attach the tether loosely to an approved anchor point in the vehicle.
In cars built after 2002, approved points can be identifi ed by this
symbol. Refer to your vehicle anchor owner’s manual if needed.
4. Check the seat belt in the vehicle to verify that it can be used with the
Positioning Restraint System.
See Vehicle Seat Belt Compatibility.
This restraint cannot be used with lap belts with an emergency
locking retractor (ELR), which means that the lap belt will only lock in
the event of a sudden stop or crash.
5. Pull the lap belt out completely, then route the belt between the back
of the restraint and the metal tubes which are located along the sides
of the Positioning Restraint System.
