14. If the ball is not in the green zone 

(Photo L), remove the Base, re-install it 
by repeating Steps 2 - 13.  If the Base 
cannot be secured tightly with the 
ball in the green zone, try any of the 
following:

a)  Remove the Base. Position a 

rolled towel under the Base, 
making sure the front of the Base 
contacts the vehicle seat (Photo 
M), and repeat Steps 2 to 13.  The 
towel should be compressed as 
the StrongArm tightens the Base 
into place.

b)   Try installing the Base in a 

different seating position.

c)   Contact your vehicle dealer for 

assistance and possible LATCH 
modifi cation parts.

d)  Seek assistance from one of 

the resources in the “Need Help 
Securing Your Orbit Base?” 
section (page 27).

Before installing the Orbit Base with 
vehicle seat belts, please read the “Use 
Recommendations,” starting on page 12.

1.  Install the Orbit Base without the Orbit 

carseat docked.  If it is attached, fi rst 
remove the Orbit carseat.  

2.  CHECK that the Base StrongArm is reset 

to zero (Photo N).  If not, then turn the 
StrongArm Knob counterclockwise until 
the zero is visible.

3.  Remove the LATCH Belt from the Lock-

Off Clamp. (Note:  The LATCH Belt is 
permanently tethered to the Base).  Store 
the LATCH Connectors in the Base when 
they are not in use (Photo O).  Each 
LATCH Connector will CLICK securely 
into its own storage slot.

(Photo P), making sure the areas 
under and behind the Base are clear of 
obstructions.
