& Seatbelt maintenance
To clean the seatbelts, use a mild soap
and lukewarm water. Never bleach or dye
the belts because this could seriously
affect their strength.
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments
including the webbing and all hardware
periodically for cracks, cuts, gashes,
tears, damage, loose bolts or worn areas.
Replace the seatbelts even if only minor
damage is found.
CAUTION
Keep the belts free of polishes,
oils, chemicals and particularly
battery acid.
Never attempt to make modifica-
tions or changes that will prevent
the seatbelt from operating prop-
erly.
