POSITIONING BELT (OPTIONAL)
Your scooter seat may be equipped with an auto-type positioning belt
that can be adjusted for operator comfort. See fi gure 29 or 30. The
positioning belt is designed to help support the operator so that he or
she does not slide down or forward in the seat. The positioning belt is
not designed for use as a restraining device.
WARNING! T he positioning belt should be secured
at all times. Never allow the positioning belt to hang
or dra g on the fl oor as it may become entangled.

2. Place the seat upside down so that you can see the bottom of
the seat base. See fi gure 28.
3. Use a wrench to remove the two rear bolts on the outermost
part of the seat frame.

belt and then reinstall the bolts back into the seat frame.
