Removing the classic wheelchair tie-
down
IMPORTANT: First remove the
occupant restraint, as instructed in the
relevant manual.
1.
Release the tension in the rear
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
release button and extending the
webbing to allow the karabiner,
J-hook or tongue and buckle
arrangements to be removed
from the wheelchair frame. If the
webbing is particularly tight, it may
be necessary to slightly ’tension’
the webbing with the hand wheel,
(Fig. 1D), whilst pressing the yellow
button, to remove the webbing
lock on the Quattro.
2. Remove each Quattro ATF from
the rail by simultaneously lifting
the yellow plunger and sliding the
fitting back until the ATF feet align
with the cut outs in the rail.
3. Lift the Quattro clear of the rail and
store safely.

Quattro and Quattro Express - Rail floor - rear
1.
Install the Quattro restraints into the rail, in the same way as the fronts. Ensure
that they are opposite each other and the clips are fully engaged on both
sides.
2. Dependent on retractor type, follow instruction:
Quattro: Press the release button(s), (Fig. 1B), to release the webbing and
attach each of the karabiner, hook or tongue and buckle arrangements to the
wheelchair’s rear frame, (Fig. 6). (Some wheelchairs will indicate this position,
Fig. 7).
Press the yellow button(s) again to remove the webbing slack.
Quattro Express: Webbing can be extended from the reel without pressing
the yellow button if the lock label, (Fig. 1C), is NOT visible. Attach each of
the wheelchair attachments to the wheelchair’s rear frame, (Fig. 6). (Some
wheelchairs will indicate this position, Fig. 7). The yellow button must be
pressed if extending webbing with the label in view, (Fig. 1B). The webbing
will retract automatically into the reel.
IMPORTANT: The yellow locking label
must be fully visible to ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 1C).
3. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 1D), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
4. Ensure that the webbing of each tie-down is approximately the same length,
and at an angle of around 30 to 45°, within the rear view zone, (Fig. 8).
5. An occupant restraint must now be fitted.
