Applying The Seat Belt, Opening The Seat Belt - Linde E 20-02 Operating Instructions Manual

Daily checks and servicing before operation
Applying the seat belt
DANGER
The seat belt must always be applied during
the operation of the truck! The seat belt is only
for securing one person.
Driver cabs with closed, solid doors or bar-type doors
comply with the safety requirements for driver retaining
systems. We recommend the additional use of the seat
belt. The seat belt must be used if the truck is operated
with the doors open or removed.
PVC doors are not considered to be a driver restraint
system.
NOTE
The automatic lock blocks the belt when the truck is
tilting heavily. The belt can then not be pulled out of the
retractor.
To unlock the automatic lock, carefully drive the truck off
the side slope.
28
- Pull the seat belt (3) out of the retractor with a smooth
movement.
- Place the seat belt over the loin area, not over the belly.
- Engage the tongue (2) in the lock (4).
- Check seat belt tension. The belt should be snug on the
body.
CAUTION
The webbing should not be twisted, stuck or
knotted.
Protect the lock (4) and retractor (1) against foreign
particles and dirt.
NOTE
During operation of the truck (e.g. driving, lifting, etc.) the
operator should sit as far back as possible so that the
back contacts the backrest.
The automatic lock of the retractor allows sufficient freedom
of movement on the seat during normal operation of the truck.
Beginning operation
Opening the seat belt
- Press the red button (5) on the lock (4) to disengage the
belt.
- Return the tongue (2) back to the retractor (1) by hand.
NOTE
A belt which returns too fast can trigger the automatic
lock when the tongue hits the enclosure. The belt can
then not be pulled out with the usual force.
