Tether Connector Strap
WARNING!
Only use tether connector strap for rear-
facing tether installation.
Because every vehicle model is different,
sometimes you cannot find a location to
properly anchor the tether. Use the tether
connector strap to assist in creating an
anchor point (Fig. D).
1
Find a fixed vehicle anchor point that is
bolted to the floor.
•
If you cannot find an acceptable location to
create an anchor point, contact the vehicle
manufacturer to identify a suitable tether connection point.
2
Route the strap around the fixed vehicle anchor point.
3
Take the metal D-ring and thread it through the webbing loop
on the other end of the strap (Fig. D).
4
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is
tight.
5
Use the D-ring as an attachment point for the hook on the
tether strap.
NOTE : Store the tether connector strap in the tether pouch when not
in use.
