Britax MARATHON 70 - Manual (Page 42)

Before You Begin:
• Check that your vehicle has lower anchors.
* Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual or contact the vehicle
manufacturer for the maximum weight rating for their
lower anchors. Use vehicle belt (not lower connectors) for
installations with children who weigh more than the vehicle
lower anchor limit. Unless specified otherwise by the vehicle
manufacturer, assume a 40 pound (18.1 kg) child is the vehicle
lower anchor limit.
• Remove the lower connectors from the storage slots in the
base. Press the adjuster release button and pull the lower
connector strap to full length. Repeat for the second strap.
• Remove the Versa-Tether from the pouch and place it up
and over the child seat back.
* Britax recommends that the Versa-Tether is used at all times.
Using the tether will improve the stability of the child seat and
reduce the risk of injury. Check your vehicle owner’s manual for
tether anchor locations. Only attach the Versa-Tether to anchor
points designated to the chosen seating position as indicated
by your vehicle owner’s manual.
• This child seat must be in position 1 or 2 and placed
forward facing on the vehicle seat.
* Ensure that no more than 20% or 3 inches (7.6 cm) of the base
hangs over the edge of the vehicle seat. See page 21 for more
information.
