This document is page 14 of a product brochure for the E-Z-ON 86Y Universal Harness, a retrofit child/passenger restraint harness for vehicles equipped only with lap belts in the rear seats. The brochure argues that lap belts alone are inadequate and promotes the Universal Harness as an affordable alternative to expensive dealer shoulder-belt retrofits. Key product claims include: FMVSS tested, made in the USA, easy to install and use, and suitable for passengers weighing 66-168 lbs in passenger cars and trucks. It notes that manufacturer hardware must be used for passenger weights over 66 lbs unless the owner's manual for the tether anchor states otherwise. Features highlighted include new covered tilt-lock adjusters that let users shorten or lengthen the harness for correct fit, a chest clip to keep straps positioned correctly on smaller passengers, and compatibility with a lap/shoulder belt plus locking clip when used with a booster. Installation guidance advises checking the vehicle owner's manual for factory anchor locations, weight limits, and pre-drilled anchor points, and states that a 45-degree angle is most appropriate for tether anchor installation. The 86Y tether kit contents are listed: 7/16" bolt, 2-3/8" washer, lock washer, swivel tether bracket, and nut. The page is marked 'Patent pending' and includes product photos and installation illustrations.
