tongue from the grey webbing buckle.
3. Position the black webbing to form the lap belt and insert the tongue into the
buckle stalk (Fig 9).

6. Position the grey webbing to form the shoulder belt and insert the buckle into the
tongue.
7. Adjust the height of the shoulder belt to clear the occupant's shoulder by
approximately 25mm or 1 inch (Fig 10).
8. The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of 30°
or more to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in order to fit low
across the pelvis reducing the possibility of the belt loading the abdomen, (Fig 7).
The pelvic restraint is designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and
should be worn low across the front of the pelvis with any junctions between the
pelvic and shoulder restraints located near the wearers hips.
