Fitting and using the combined retractable tie-down with 2 & 3 point
double inertia
Fit and use
Rail floor Wheelchair Tie-down:
1. The rail 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. Attach the front wheelchair tie-down (not supplied as part of
this product) in accordance with its own instruction.
3. Place the combined rear retractable restraint into the rail behind
the wheelchair. It is acceptable to use the restraint either for left
hand or right hand use. The double inertia reel should be fitted
to the rail adjacent to the 3rd point anchorage.
4. Moving to the wheelchair rear, select rear retractable 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).
5. 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.
6. Press the yellow Quattro release button(s), (Fig 4A) to extend
the webbing and attach the karabiner(s), hook(s) or tongue and
buckle arrangement(s) around the wheelchair main frame. Some
wheelchairs will indicate this rear frame tie-down position, (Fig 5).
7. Press each Quattro release button once again to take up the slack in
the webbing and create an angle of around 30 to 45° and within the
rear view zone, (Fig 6).
8. Final tensioning is achieved by turning each tensioning handle,
(Fig 4B), until the webbing is equally taut on each side.
9. The occupant restraint must now be fitted.
Removing wheelchair tie-down
1. Release the tension in the rears by pressing the yellow button and
extend the webbing to allow the karabiner(s) / hook(s)/tongue &
buckles(s) to be removed from the wheelchair frame. If the webbing
is particularly tight, it may be necessary to slightly 'tension' with the
hand wheel whilst pressing the yellow button, in order to remove
the webbing lock on the Quattro.
2. Lift the yellow plunger fully, slide back away from the wheelchair to
align the ATF feet with the rail cut outs, lift away from the rail and
store securely.
