3. Clean out debris and place track in routed areas.
4. Position track and use as a template to center mark holes to be drilled.
5. Remove track and drill 11/32” (8.6 mm) holes through floor per track drilling pattern.
Note: Standard track drilling pattern = holes every 6” (152,4 mm).
6. For recessed tracks, place sealant in floor openings and reinstall track.
7. Pass 5/16” (8 mm) bolts through track and floor. If NOT using AMF-Bruns provided hardware, use ONLY
minimum GRADE 8 hardware coated for adequate protection against corrosion per ASTM-B117.
8. From underneath vehicle floor, place washers over bolts. The washer should have dimensions of at
least (inside diameter x outside diameter x thickness) Ø 0,354” x Ø 2.36” x 0.079“ thick (Ø 10.5 mm x Ø
60 mm x 2 mm thick). Sealant may be used between washer and floor if desired.
9. Securely fasten bolts and lock nuts as shown in Figures 4 & 5, ensuring at least 2-3 threads are
extending past the lock nut.
Recommended torque
= 35 FT/LB (47 Nm).
Optional Track Accessories:
Install the end caps after the track is partially installed to the vehicle floor. This will provide the end
caps freedom to slide into place and be adjusted. Secure the end cap to the floor using the
screw. The end caps are to provide a finished surface from the track to the floor.
Protect the tracks from debris/dirt. Track must be clean at all time to ensure retractor fitting is locked
and engaged. Track cover available: Part #150351 and 150352.
See Section II(A). SECURING THE WHEELCHAIR
1.
Before installing floor anchorages, check with local transportation and regulatory authorities for
minimum/maximum wheelchair location space and emergency exit requirements.
2. Inspect underside of the vehicle floor and note wiring, frames, cross-members, fuel tanks and other
possible dangers and obstructions before beginning installation.
3. Recommended distance between the adjacent side wall and the nearest rear floor anchorage should
not exceed 20” (510 mm). Greater distance from the wall may prevent proper shoulder belt use,
increasing the risk of wheelchair passenger injury.
4. The installer is responsible for ensuring that anchorages are installed onto floor and wall structures.
Always use sufficient reinforcement, such as mounting plates and washers, at all anchorage points. The
vehicle floor and sidewall structures, where the system anchorages are attached, shall have greater
strength than the system being installed. If you have any doubts, contact your dealer or AMF-Bruns of
America.
5. Do not install anchorages or any system component into weak materials such as corroded, cracked or
deformed metal or wood, or any plastic or fiberglass panels.
6. Backing plates must sit flush against the vehicle surface. Modifications to the backing plate must only be
made where absolutely necessary as smaller plate size reduces the floor load distribution. Always leave
a minimum of 0.6” (15 mm) adjacent to the bolt hole in the plate.
7. Use only hardware provided by AMF-Bruns of America. If you need additional hardware, contact
AMF-Bruns of America at www.amfbrunsamerica.com.
V. PRODUCT INSTALLATION
The following instructions are the most common floor anchorages.
A. Installation of the Aluminum L-track
The L-track rail can be installed in the vehicle in combination with a Smartfloor or wood floor
lightweight floor components. Three types of profiles are available: Flange, Regular and Surface.
B. Installation in Wood Floor
1.
Determine location of anchorages per Figures 3. L-Track can be installed perpendicular or parallel to
wheelchair location (includes full-length track).
2. If surface mount track onto floor (Figure 5), place track on floor and proceed to Step 4. If recessing,
insert track (Figure 4) after routing an area in the floor that is 1.42” (36 mm) wide x 1/2” (13 mm) deep
for each track and proceed to Step 3. Inspect underside of the vehicle floor and note fuel lines, fuel
tanks, electrical wires, utilities, frames, cross-members, fuel tanks or other possible obstruction before
beginning installation.
Damages to a fuel line, fuel tank or electrical line, even if apparnetly insignificant, could result in a fire or
other malfunction, causing personal injury or death to the vehicle occupants.
WARNING
Damages to a fuel line, fuel tank or electrical line, even if apparently insignificant, could result in a fire or
other malfunction, causing personal injury or death to the vehicle occupants.
