WARNING! Only use the tether connector strap for a rear-
facing tether installation when there is NOT a designated vehicle
tether anchor
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).
Find a fixed vehicle anchor point that is 1
bolted to the floor.
If you cannot find an acceptable location 2
to create an anchor point, contact the
vehicle manufacturer to identify a suitable
tether connection point.
Route the tether connector strap around 3
the fixed vehicle anchor point.
Take the metal D-ring and thread it 4
through the webbing loop on the other
end of the tether connector strap (Fig. D).
Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until 5
the tether connector strap is tight.
Use the D-ring as an attachment point for 6
the hook on the tether strap.
NOTE: Store the tether connector strap in the
tether pouch when not in use.
