BELT RESTRAINT INSPECTION
• Periodically inspect belts, buckles, ad¬
justable latch plates, retractors, interlock
and reminder systems, guide loops, clips,
and anchors for damage that could lessen
the effectiveness of the restraint system.
• Keep sharp edges and damaging objects
away from belts, and other parts of re¬
straint system.
• Replace belts if cut, weakened, frayed, or
subjected to collision loads.
• Check that anchor mounting bolts are
tight.
• Have questionable parts replaced.
• Keep seat belts clean and dry.
• Clean only with mild soap solution and
lukewarm water.
• Do not bleach or dye belts since this may
severly weaken belts.
