3. Verify that the oor lock indicator window is showing green
(no red). See“Floor Lock Indicator Window” on page 10.
4. Connect the ICS cable (Q) to the oor connector (Figure
13). If the connectors are yellow terminals on black and red
wires, connect red-red and black-black. If the fastener has the
triangle connector, orient the clip with the mating receiver.
Conrm the cables are properly connected. Center any excess
cable in the middle of the mounting rail where it will not be
kinked or damaged. Monitor the position of the ICS cable as
you attach the upper fastening system to the oor rail.
5. Using additional help as needed, orient the upper fastening
system (R) over the three oor posts (S). Set the upper
fastening system in place (Figure 14).
6. Verify the upper fastening system (R) is properly positioned
on the mounting rail, with the safety hook passing through
the slot in the nose. The upper fastening system should fully
contact the oor.
WARNING
An improperly-secured fastening system can fail in
a crash. Conrm all fasteners are fully tightened and
properly secure the fastening system to the oor.

(unlocked) to fully red (locked). See “Floor Lock Indicator
Window” on page 10.
8. Use a 6 mm hex wrench to tighten the set screw (M, Figure
15). Tighten until snug.
9. Clean and prepare the two 4 mm nose screws as follows:
○ Clean the threads of the screws, plus the mating threads
of the safety-hook mounting block with acetone or an
appropriate threadlocker cleaner/primer (not supplied).
Allow the threads to dry completely.
○ Apply 1 drop of removable threadlocker to the screw
threads. Install the screws immediately. Wipe of any excess
threadlocker.
○ Allow threadlocker to dry for a minimum of one hour before

10. Use a 4 mm hex wrench to attach the two nose screws (O) and
washers (P, Figure 16). Tighten until snug. Do not overtighten.
NOTICE
When tightening the fastening bolt, the bolt should be
able to rotate at least 12 complete 360° rotations. If the bolt
stops prior to this, or if any green shows in the window, the
fastening bolt is not tight enough. Remove and reposition
the fastening system and verify it is properly engaged with
the oor posts.
Before applying threadlocker, always clean and prime
receiving threads of fasteners and parts.
Allow threadlocker to dry for a minimum of one hour before
using the fastening system. Full cure time is 24 hours.
