Removing the compact manual
wheelchair tie-down
IMPORTANT: First remove the rear tie-
downs.
1.
Release the webbing tension in
each front side by pressing the
silver release on the over-centre
buckles, (Fig. 1A) and detach the
karabiner, J-hook or tongue and
buckle arrangements from the
front wheelchair frame.
2. Lift the yellow ATF plunger fully
and slide back away from the
wheelchair to align the ATF feet
with the rail cut-outs. Lift away
from the rail. Repeat operation on
the other side and store safely.

1.
The rail will have been installed in the vehicle in accordance with our own
and the vehicle converter’s instruction. Position wheelchair within vehicle as
required.
2. When using tie-down with J-hooks or karabiners, ensure that the karabiner /
J-hook gates are facing outwards. If using tongue and buckle, the buckle may
be positioned facing inboard or outboard.
3.
Install the front tie-down ATF (aluminium track fitting) into the rail by aligning
the ATF feet with the cut-out sections of the rail and locate into the rail, (Fig. 2).
4.
Press down on the ribbed part of the ATF, (Fig. 2A) and push firmly towards
the wheelchair until the yellow plunger drops and locks into the rail.
5. Install the second front tie-down ATF in the same way, ensuring that each
fitting is opposite each other, if using rail lengths which have adjustability in
ATF positioning.
IMPORTANT: Check the yellow clips are fully engaged on
both sides.
6. Remove the webbing from the Velcro patch and release the over-centre
buckle by pressing the silver release button, (Fig. 1A).
7. Attach the karabiner, J-hook or tongue and buckle arrangements around the
front wheelchair frame to create an angle of around 40 to 60° within the front
view zone, (Fig. 3). (Some wheelchairs will indicate this tie-down position, Fig.
4).
8. 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. Re-secure the Velcro to prevent the loose end from
becoming a trip hazard.
