the abdominal area must be avoided.
Seat belts should be adjusted as firmly
as possible, consistent with comfort, to

tection afforded to the wearer.
Care should be taken to avoid contami -
nation of the webbing with polishes, oils
and chemicals, and particularly battery
acid. Cleaning may safely be carried out
using mild soap and water. The belt
should be replaced if webbing becomes
frayed, contaminated or damaged.

be made by the user which would
either prevent the seat belt adjusting
devices from operating to remove
slack, or prevent the seat belt assem -
bly from being adjusted to remove
slack.

buckles of other seats. It is very dan -
