BELT ANCHORING AND RETRACTION SYSTEMS 23266
Two of the four retaining belts have attaching
pins on the retractors to secure the occupant’s
lap belt. They must be placed at the rear of the
wheelchair.
Each tiedown retractor slots into a floor
anchorage track.
To anchor the retaining belts, lift the track cover,
push in the retractor anchor then slide it until it
locks in place. Hook one strap to each corner of
the wheelchair frame (not the wheels) and allow
the retractors to tension the belts.
To remove the restraint belts, release tension in
the locking mechanism by tightening the belt
slightly more with the retractor knob before
pushing down on the red release lever on the
retractor. Unhook the wheelchair and allow the
belts to retract. Guide the belts in, making sure
they remain untwisted as they retract.
Release the anchor by lifting the lock pin then
sliding out and up the anchor from the floor
track. Close the lid on the tracks to prevent dirt
from entering the track cavity.
CAUTION
Do not let restraint or safety belts rub against
sharp edges. Do not bleach or dry clean.

shoulder belt length automatically.
To release the belt, unsnap the shoulder belt
then press the red button in the center of the
buckle.
