Tether Connector Strap

WARNING! Only use the tether connector strap for a 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.

3Take the metal D-ring and thread it through the webbing loop on the other end of the

strap (Fig. D).

4Pull the metal D-ring all the way through until the strap is tight.

5Use 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.
