G. FITTING OR11

 

Fitting the Combined Gemini System - Wheelchair  
Tie-down:

 

1.  The rail will have been installed in the vehicle, in 

accordance with our own and the vehicle converters 
instruction. A front wheelchair tie-down should be 
secured first, before any rear combined restraints are 
fitted. 

2.  Place the combined rear webbing 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 
3

rd

 point anchorage (Fig 18).

 

3.  Lift the double locating plunger and slide into the rail, by pushing the bar slightly forward or 

backward until the plunger drops and locks into place (Fig 18). Repeat with other bar. 

IMPORTANT:

 

Check that both bars are positioned exactly opposite each other, they are secured and the 
plungers are fully dropped.  

 

4.  Remove the webbing from the Velcro patch and release the over-centre buckle. 
5.  Attach the Karabiner  to the wheelchair main frame to create an angle of about 30-45° within the rear 

view zone, (Fig 20). (Some chairs will indicate this tie-down position).  

6.  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, (Fig 19).  Re-secure the 
Velcro to prevent the loose end from becoming a tripping hazard.  

7.  The occupant restraint should now be fitted.
