Seat and seatbelt
Adjust the seat as needed and sit up straight and well back in the seat.
To fasten your seat belt, pull the webbing (1) out of the retractor and insert the metal tongue into the buckle
(3). There will be an audible "click" when the tab locks into the buckle. Pull on the strap (4) to tighten the lap
belt across your hips. The lap belt should be worn snugly and as low as possible over the hips, do not wear it
over your belly.
To release the belt, press the buckle release button (2) and allow the belt to retract. If the belt does not retract
smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains untwisted as it retracts.
Periodically check the seat belt to be sure it remains snug and in position. If there is a sudden stop or impact,
the belt will lock into position. It will also lock (restrict) if you try to lean forward too quickly.
Important points about the seatbelt:
•
Reduce the possibility of being thrown from the machine.
•
Reduce the possibility of injuries to the body during an accident or collision.
•
Hold the driver in a position which allows better control of the machine.
•
The operator should always wear the seat belt no matter how short is the trip to minimize the risk of
injury in the event of a crash or an emergency stop. In an accident, an un-belted operation can cause
serious injury.
•
The belt must always be flat against your body and not twisted in any way. Do not put any objects
between you and the seat belt. Incorrect use of a seat belt can cause serious injury.
•
Adjust seat belts as tightly as possible, consistent with comfort to properly secure the operator in the
seat.
•
Do not use any accessories on the seat belt or modify in any way the seat belt system.
•
An accident or emergency stop, can make your seat belt system damaged. Examine the seat belt system
after every accident.
•
Never use a damaged seat belt system. A damaged seat belt can cause serious injury.
•
Examine the seat belt systems regularly. Do a check if there are no visible damages. They must be
handled with care.
•
Keep the belts clean and dry. Belt retraction can be difficult if the belts are not clean. Clean the belts
with a mild soap solution or lukewarm water. Never use bleach, dye, or abrasive cleaners. These
chemicals make the belts weak.
•
Never wear twisted seat belts. Excessive forces go from the belt to the operator in a collision and can
cause serious injury.
•
At least once each month, examine the seat belt for any cuts, tears, or other signs of wear (such as
fraying along the edges). Make sure that the anchor, retractor and buckle are tight and operational.
