Fit and use

Fitting and using combined retractable tie-down and  

occupant restraint

Floor anchor - Quattro or Quattro Express with static occupant restraint

1.  The Solo anchors will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our own 

and the vehicle converters instruction. 

2.  Attach the front wheelchair tie-down (not supplied as part of this product) in 

accordance with its own instruction.

3. 

If using Quattro tie-down, it should first be fitted as indicated on page 18-19.

4. 

If using Quattro Express tie-down, it  should first be fitted as indicated on page 20-21.

5.  The occupant restraint should be installed in accordance with previous safety 

information using the supplied hardware (Fig 19). 

Note: 

if fitting hardware, other than 

that provided in this kit, is to be used then the fixing bolts should be of an equivalent 

cross section and an equivalent grade namely B.S. Grade ’S’ (ISO 8.8).

6.  The componentry is assembed (Fig 19) with the upper 3

rd

 point bolted to an approved 

anchorage position on the vehicle body. Bolts should be tightened to a torque of 

40Nm. If installing the ATF of the removable 3

rd

 point, then a suitable rail section, 

known as a cant rail, should be installed in the vehicle. 

Note

:

 

all vehicle anchorage 

points may require reinforcement as necessary to meet any required minimum 

strength recommendations for the vehicle.

7.  Install the static lap belt section - tongue side into the stalk opposite the 3

rd

 point 

anchorage (Fig 20B) and the buckle side into the stalk nearest to the 3

rd

 point 

anchorage (Fig 20A).

8.  Draw the two sections around the occupant’s waist and clip the lap belt adjuster into 

the lap belt buckle, adjusting as firmly as possible, consistent with user comfort, so 

that the lap belt sits low over the front of the pelvis and bears over the bony part of the 

body. 

9.  Disconnect the shoulder belt snap clip from its storage position (Fig 21) and draw 

across the upper body connecting it into the static lap belt section - tongue side snap 

button (Fig 22). Adjust the shoulder belt tension to comfortably suit the user (Fig 23).

10. The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of 30° or more 

to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in order to fit low across the 

pelvis, reducing the possibility of the belt loading the abdomen (Fig 7). The pelvic 

restraint is designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and should be worn 

low across the front of the pelvis with any junctions between the pelvic and shoulder 

restraints located near the wearer’s hips.

Removing occupant restraint

1.  Disconnect the shoulder belt snap 

clip from the lap belt snap button 

and the lap belt tongue section 

from the lap belt buckle section. 

2.  To remove the wheelchair  

tie-down, see page 18 or 20.

Occupant restraints should not 

be held away from the body by 

wheelchair components or parts, such 

as armrests or wheels, and should not 

be worn twisted in any way. 
Occupant restraints should be 

adjusted as firmly as possible and 

consistent with user comfort. Upper 

torso restraints should fit over the 

shoulder or shoulders.
