Columbia 2000 - Vehicle Lap Belt Only

16
 An incorrectly mounted restraint system may come loose during an
accident which could result in serious injury or death to the user.
 Damaged or impact damaged restraint systems should be replaced
immediately.
 For occupants over 80 lbs. (36 kg), BOTH tether hooks must be
used. Each hook must be attached to a separate tether
anchor. A single tether anchor is not strong enough to
support weights in excess of 80 lbs. (36 kg).
Installing the Tether with LATCH
1. The tether is not attached during shipping. Locate the tether and
remove it from its plastic bag.
2. The tether has two (2) tension adjuster hooks (one located on
each end of the tether) and two (2) “free-floating” tether hooks.
See Figure 5.

Restraint System is secure. When properly installed, the restraint
will not move more that one inch (1”) from side to side and or front
to back. If the restraint is not secure, repeat steps 5 – 11.
Vehicle Lap Belt Only
1. Place the Positioning Restraint System
in a forward facing position on the
vehicle seat. If the front edge of the
restraint extends more that
1” (25mm) beyond the front edge of
the seat, then the vehicle seat is too
shallow to properly support the
restraint system. If this is the case,
do not install.
2. Attach the tension adjuster hooks of
the tether to the upper anchor points located
on the sides of the Positioning Restraint
System. See Installing the Tether Strap.
3. Attach the tether loosely to an approved anchor point in the vehicle.
In cars built after 2002, approved points can be identified by this
symbol. Refer to your vehicle anchor owner’s manual if needed.
4. Check the seat belt in the vehicle to verify that it can be used with
the Positioning Restraint System. See Vehicle Seat Belt
Compatibility. This restraint cannot be used with lap belts with an
emergency locking retractor (ELR), which means that the lap belt
will only lock in the event of a sudden stop or crash.
5. Pull the lap belt out completely, then route the belt
between the back of the restraint and the metal tubes
which are located along the sides of the Positioning
Restraint System.
