Fitting and using the combined webbing tie-downs with 2 & 3 point double inertia
Fit and use
Solo anchor
1. T
he Solo anchors will have been installed in the vehicle, in accordance with our own
and the vehicle converters instructions. Position the wheelchair within the vehicle as
required.
2. Attach the front wheelchair tie-down, (not supplied as part of this product), in
accordance with its own instruction. A front wheelchair tie-down should be secured
first, before any rear combined restraints are fitted.
3. Moving to the wheelchair rear, select rear webbing tie-down so that the karabiner or
hook gates face outboard from the wheelchair, (Fig 1). If using tongue and buckle, the
buckle may be positioned facing outboard or inboard, (Fig 2). Attach each tie-down
onto the rear floor anchor points by aligning the button within the cleat to the slot
on the floor anchors, (Fig 15). Slide the cleat fully home, (Fig 15), (raising the anchor
from its housing if using the retractable floor anchor), rotate the cleat through 90° to
align the karabiner/hook fixing or tongue and buckle with the wheelchair rear vertical
frame.
4. Remove the webbing from the Vecro patch and release the over-centre buckle.
Attach the karabiner/hook fixings, or tongue and buckle, to the wheelchair main
frame to create an angle of about 30-45° within the rear view zone, (Fig 4). (Some
wheelchairs will indicate this tie-down position, Fig 5). Pull the webbing through the
over-centre buckle until it is tight. With the free hand, begin to close the buckle. Once
the webbing is retained, fully close the buckle using both hands, (Fig 6). Re-secure the
Velcro to prevent the loose end from becoming a trip hazard.
5. The occupant restraint must now be fitted - refer to pages 12-15.
Removing wheelchair tie-down
1. Release the over-centre buckle on
the rear strap, loosen the webbing
and remove the karabiner / hook or
tongue & buckle arrangement from the
wheelchair.
2. Pull the webbing, close the over-centre
buckle and re-secure the Velcro.
3. Remove each rear combined restraint
from the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the raised
protusion on the cleat is aligned with
the indent on the floor anchors, (Fig 14).
Slide off.
4. Pull the tie-down away from the floor
anchor and store safely.
