Decide where the chairs will be located in the vehicle. Chairs must be
placed with occupant and chair facing the front of the vehicle. Check
for wall clearance, allowing room to properly mount the upper torso
restraint.
IMPORTANT:
Check with
regulatory
authorities to
determine clear
space or
emergency
outlet
requirement.

MOUNTING TIEDOWN ANCHORAGES
The following are diagrams of our most common tiedown anchorages. If you have received any other type of tiedown
anchorages and would like a diagram similar to the ones shown below please call our customer service. Please note
that floor images are for illustrative purposes only. Floor thickness may vary.
IMPORTANT: For all anchorages, when using substitute hardware, use a minimum Grade 8 bolt and nut with suitable
corrosion protection. (Please check with your local authorities regarding corrosion requirements). If you have to modify the
backing plate to clear an obstruction, modify the plate only where necessary, since decreased plate size decreases the floor
load distribution. Always leave at least 0.6” (15mm) around the bolt hole in the backing plate.
Protect the tracks with the track cover when they are not in
use. Use the track cover to keep debris out of the cavity of
the track. To maintain proper securement it is important
that the cavity of the track remain clean at all times.

Mounting Floor Plate
Place the floor plates in the desired position, mark and drill
three holes for 3/8” bolts, then pass the bolts through the
plate and the floor hole. From underneath the vehicle,
place the washers over the bolts and securely torque the
lock nuts as shown in Figure 9 (recommended torque = 35
FT/LB [47 N.m.]). Be sure all lock nut threads are engaged.
WARNING: The upper torso/lap belt must always lie against the bony
structure of the occupant’s body and it must never infringe on any
component of the wheelchair such as; armrest, panel, wheel and frame.
Note: Upper torso belt should lie across the center of the seated occupant’s
shoulder as shown in Figure 11. Wall anchorages for any type of upper torso
belt should be attached to a suitable wall structure within the zone shown in
figure 12 or extend upward and rearward from this zone.
7
WARNING: The installer or manufacturer is responsible for ensuring that
the installation meets applicable wall strength requirement. Wall anchorage
should always be above the shoulder level of the seated occupant to avoid
downward forces on the spine.
The different type of upper anchorages
system include; L-track fitting, A-track
fitting, and direct installation.
Drill five holes for 1/4” bolts into the frame of the vehicle and install the
triangular bracket as shown in Figure 13.

WARNING: If you
have to modify the
backing plate to clear
an obstruction, modify
plate only where
necessary since
decreased plate size
decreases floor load
distribution. Always
leave at least .6” (15
mm) around t-he bolt
hole in the backing
plate. If you have to
use other hardware,
use only a minimal of
3/8” (10 mm) Grade 8
nut and bolt with Figure 18
suitable corrosion
protection.
Tri-Wheeler Belt
For customers using the Tri-wheeler
belt, an additional anchorage should
be installed centered and 6” Figure 19
(152mm) rearward of the anchorages Figure 19
from figure 2. See figure 19 for
details.

WARNINGS
• An experienced technician should perform installation.
• Do not make any alterations or modifications to the “QRT” system.
• Do not install the system components into unsound materials such as
corroded metal, wood, plastic and fiberglass panels without suitable
reinforcement.
• Protect the webbing around sharp corners and edges as applicable.
• The installer is responsible for ensuring that the installation meets all
applicable regulations.
• If in doubt about the method of installation in the vehicle, or the use of
the “QRT” system, consult your nearest Q’Straint office.
• PLEASE UTILIZE THE COMPLETE SYSTEM AS A UNIT IN THE VEHICLE.
(DO NOT INTERCHANGE COMPONENTS).
• The “QRT” system has been tested in a configuration similar to that
recommended for installation. Any deviation from this recommendation
is the responsibility of the installer.
• Regulations in some countries require that for a securement system to
be regarded as complete, a shoulder belt must also be installed.
Check with your local authorities for specific local requirements.
• All vehicle interior padding should comply with FMVSS 302/ISO 3795.
• If a head restraint is anchored to the vehicle, a vehicle anchored back
restraint must be provided to minimize rearward deflection of the
wheelchair seatback and thereby prevent injury.
• Airbags should only be employed as restraints in conjunction with a
wheelchair tiedown and belt type occupant restraint system compliant
with SAE J2249/ISO 10542.
• Airbags should be disconnected if the wheelchair-seated occupant is
positioned less than 7” (180mm) from the airbag module, or if any after
market device is installed so as to block or compromise deployment of
the airbag.
• The components of the “QRT” system should be replaced if they are
suspected to have been in use during an impact from which the vehicle
must be towed.
• Always keep belts clean and off the floor by using the optional Q’Straint
wall pouch or an alternate method.
• Inspect your Q’Straint parts regularly.
• Prevent contamination of belt webbing from oil, gases, polishes and
chemicals, in particularly-battery acid.
• Occasionally lubricate tiedown buckles at the hinges being careful not
to contaminate the webbing.
• Report any damage, defect or difficulty to your supervisor.
