4.3 Fitting the seat to the chassis
The seat incorporates an Interface system, and includes a 2-stage latch that comprises a
main latch and a second safety latch that prevents accidental release of the seat from the
chassis.
The safety catch must be correctly set before the main catch can be operated:
How to operate the safety catch:
Fig 4.3.1
Safety Catch Locked
The safety catch clip is located under the
front right corner of the seat near to the
release lever.
Definition of components:
X: Pull handle
Y: Locking Pin
To release it, pull the handle “X”, and turn it
90 degrees so that the pin “Y” is fully
retracted.
To lock it, pull “X” and turn 90 degrees in
the opposite direction, so that pin “Y” is fully
protruded and sits behind the interface main
catch “B” (see fig 4.3.3 on next page).
Fig 4.3.2
Safety Catch unlocked
Important:
When fitting or removing the seat, the carer / parent must first ensure that the safety
catch pin is set in the “unlocked” position. It will not be possible to fit or remove the
seat if the latch is “locked”, and attempting to do so may cause damage to the
chassis or the seat.
Once the seat has been fitted, the carer / parent must always lock the safety catch.
Note:
A warning label is positioned on the front right hand portion of the tilt frame on the
chassis, to remind carers to lock the safety catch.
