14) Cartridge Placement
Be sure the Adjustable Cartridge Support in the Nose is attached correctly (p. 36). The top
surface of the Nose Cartridge should be horizontal.
It is the responsibility of the installer to place the appropriate Cartridge in each Bay and Nose
section of the QuadGuard
®
. Type I Cartridges are placed toward the front and Nose of the
system; Type II Cartridges are placed toward the rear of the system (Figure 69).
Warning:
Placing the wrong Cartridge in the Nose or any Bay is strictly prohibited
pursuant to NCHRP Report 350 testing criteria. Such configurations have not been
accepted for use and may result in unacceptable crash performance.
