1.
Place the retractor behind the wheelchair. It is acceptable to use the restraint
either for left-hand or right-hand use. Ensure the wheelchair restraints are
fitted with the J-hook gates facing outwards (Fig. 1C).
2.
Install the restraint(s) onto the floor anchor(s) by aligning the open mouth of
the cleat and the protrusion, (Fig. 2C), to the slot on the floor anchor, (Fig. 2A &
B).
3. Slide the cleat fully home (allowing the keyway within the cleat to guide it into
its home position), rotate the assemblies through 90° to allow the J-hooks to
be attached to the wheelchair frame, (Fig. 3A & B).
4. Extend the webbing and attach the J-Hook around the wheelchair’s
securement points with the open hook facing outboard, (Fig. 7).
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. 1D), is NOT visible. The
yellow button must be pressed if extending webbing with the label in view,
(Fig. 1A). Some wheelchairs will indicate the securement points, (Fig. 8).
5. Slack in webbing will be taken in automatically by the reel to create an angle
of around 30° to 45° and within the rear view zone, (Fig. 9).
6. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle, (Fig. 1B), until
the webbing is equally taut on each side.
IMPORTANT: The yellow label must
be visible, to ensure that the reel is locked off, (Fig. 1D).
7. Ensure that each rear Quattro Express webbing is approximately of the same
length.
Removing the self-retracting rear
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
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’ with
the hand wheel, (Fig. 1B), while
pressing the yellow button, in order
to remove the webbing lock on the
retractor.
2. Remove each Quattro Solo from
the anchor by rotating the retractor
through 90° so that the raised
protrusion, (Fig. 2C), on the cleat is
facing its parallel cleat. Slide off.
3. Pull the retractors away from the
floor anchors and store safely.
