FE500 Manual Series Systems
 |
The FE500 System has been relied upon for nearly 20 years, offering maximum versatility and a quick, simple operation. As our most economical solution, the easy-to-use tie-down is available in Cam, Ratchet and Overcenter Buckle assemblies and offers snap hook and D-ring or S-hook attachment styles. The 1” wide strap provides easy attachment to a variety of wheelchair designs allowing the webbing to conform to the structural frame of the wheelchair, minimizing scratches and dents.
|
|
Always use two of the same, identical style buckle tie-downs for attachment to the front securement points of the wheelchair and two of the same, identical style buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points. Mixing types of tie-downs may not provide equal tension and could result in the wheelchair not being properly secured. |
|
|
Always use Ratchet or Overcenter Buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points of the wheelchair. Never use Cam Buckle tie-downs for attachment to the rear securement points of the wheelchair as they will not meet system performance requirements |
