Fitting and using the combined webbing tie-downs with 2 & 3 point double inertia
Fit and use
Rail floor
1. The rail will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance
with their own and the vehicle converter’s instruction. Position
wheelchair within vehicle as required.
2. Attach the front wheelchair tie-down (not supplied as part of
this product) in accordance with its own instruction
3. Moving to the wheelchair rear, select rear webbing tie-down
so that the karabiner or hook gates face outboard from the
wheelchair, (Fig 1). If using tongue & buckle, the buckle may be
positioned facing inboard or outboard,
(Fig 2). Attach each tie down into the floor rail by aligning the
ATF (aluminium track fitting) feet with the cut-out sections of
the rail, (Fig 3).
Note:
the yellow plungers must face toward the
rear of the vehicle. Press down on the ribbed part of the ATF,
(Fig 3A), and push firmly down towards the wheelchair until the
yellow plunger drops and locks into the rail. If using rail lengths
giving adjustability on the positioning of the ATF, then ensure that
ATF is sited opposite each other.
4. Remove the webbing from the Velcro patch and release the
over-centre buckle.
5. Attach the karabiner / hook / tongue & buckle to the wheechair
main frame to create an angle of about 30 to 45° within the rear
view zone, (Fig 4). (Some wheelchairs which indicate this tie-
down position, Fig 5).
6.
Pull the webbing through the over-centre buckle
until it is tight. With the free hand, begin to close the
buckle. Once the webbing is retained, fully close the
buckle using both hands, (Fig 6). Re-secure the Velcro
to prevent the loose end from becoming a trip hazard.
The occupant restraint must now be fitted.
Removing wheelchair tie-down:
1. Release the webbing tension in each strap by pressing
the silver release on the over-centre buckles and
detach the karabiner / hook / tongue & buckle from
the wheelchair frame.
Note:
in an emergency, if
using the tongue & buckle version, the tie-down can
be quickly removed from the wheelchair by simply
pressing each buckle release button. Close the over-
centre buckle and return the webbing end to the
Velctro patch.
2. Lift the yellow plunger fully and slide back away from
the wheelchair to align the ATF feet with the rail cut
outs, lift away from the rail and store securely.
