1.
The Solo floor anchors will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance
with their own and the vehicle converter’s instruction. Position the wheelchair
within the vehicle as required.
2. Install each front retractor cleat onto a front Solo anchor by aligning the open
mouth of the cleat and the protrusion, (Fig. 2C), to the slot on the floor anchor.
Slide the cleat fully home (allowing the keyway within the cleat to guide into
its home position, Fig. 2A & 2B) and rotate the cleat through 90° to align the
retractor with the wheelchair frame, (Fig. 3).
3. Extend the webbing and attach the J-Hook around the wheelchair’s
securement point with the open hook facing outboard, (Fig. 4). Some
wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 5).
Note: it is not necessary to press the yellow button, (Fig. 1A). Webbing can
be extended from the reel without pressing the yellow button if the lock
label, (Fig. 1D), is NOT visible. The yellow button must be pressed if extending
webbing with the label in view.
4. Slack in webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel to create an angle
of around 40° to 60° has been created, within the front view zone, (Fig. 6).
IMPORTANT: The yellow label must be visible, to ensure that the reel is
locked off, (Fig. 1D).
5. Slack in the webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel. Apply the
brakes to the wheelchair.
Removing the self-retracting front
tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove rear
wheelchair tie-downs, as instructed
on pages 12-13.
1.
Release the tension in the front
tie-downs by pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 1A), and extending
the webbing to allow the J-hook,
(Fig. 1C), 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 1B), while pressing the yellow
button, (Fig. 1A), to remove the
webbing lock on the retractor.
2. Remove each front retractor from
the anchor by rotating the tie-
down through 90° so that the
raised protrusion, (Fig. 2C), on the
cleat is facing its parallel cleat.
3. Pull the tie-down away from the
floor anchor and store safely.
