7
Position both sections of vehicle belt
through the rear-facing lock-off farthest
from vehicle buckle, then close lock-off
arm
(
Fig. E)
.
•
Lock-off is properly closed when a positive
click is heard.
•
To prevent breakage, never bend the lock-
off arm up or down.
8 Verify that the vehicle belt is tight and
the child restraint is stable.
NOTE:
•
The back angle of the child restraint
should not exceed 45º when properly
installed in the rear-facing position.
•
Installation can be improved by the
use of the Versa-Tether
®
(see pages
23–25). The recline angle can be
adjusted by tightening the tether as
described on page 24, using anchor
point 3.
•
If there is a problem stabilizing the
child restraint, place a rolled towel in the crease of the vehicle
seat to help level the child restraint base.
WARNING:
DO NOT raise the base beyond horizontal or off of the
vehicle seat; doing so will reduce the protection for the child.
Removal
Release the tether, if used, then reverse the above directions.
