Retractable tie downs (TOR)
1.
When using TOR heavy duty Quattro Express tie-down with karabiners,
ensure the karabiner gates are facing outwards, (Fig 1A).
2. Install the front retractor into the rail by aligning the ATF (aluminium track
fitting) feet with the cut-out sections of the rail. Press down on the ribbed part
of the ATF, (Fig 2A), and push firmly towards the wheelchair until the yellow
plunger drops and locks into the rail.
3.
Extend the webbing and attach the karabiner fixing (Fig. 1A) around the
wheelchair’s securement point with the gate facing outboard, (Fig. 6). Some
wheelchairs will indicate these tie-down positions, (Fig 5).
Note: It is not necessary to press the yellow button. Webbing can be extended
from the reel without pressing the yellow button if the lock label, (Fig. 3), is
NOT visible. The yellow button must be pressed if extending webbing with the
label in view, (Fig. 1B).
4. Install the second front retractor ATF in the same way, ensuring that each
fitting is opposite each other, if using rail lengths which have adjustability in
ATF positioning.
IMPORTANT: Check that the clips are fully engaged on
both sides.
5. Ensure that each front Quattro Express webbing is of approximately the same
length and that an angle of around 40° to 60° has been created, within the
front view zone, (Fig. 4). Slack in the webbing will automatically be taken up by
the reel. Apply brakes to the wheelchair.
Removing the TOR HD Quattro
Express wheelchair tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove occupant
restraint, as instructed in the relevant
manual.
1.
Release the tension in the front
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 1B), and extending the
webbing to allow the karabiner 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. 1C), whilst
pressing the yellow button, to
remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
2. Lift the ATF yellow plunger fully
and slide back to align the ATF feet
with the rail cut outs. Lift away
from the rail. Repeat operation with
the other side and store safely.
