Fasten the Seat Belt
WARNING If you do not wear your seat belt you could be thrown about inside the machine, or thrown out of
the machine and crushed. You must wear a seat belt when using the machine. Fasten the seat belt before
starting the engine.
1. Sit correctly in the seat.
2. Pull the seat belt and the tongue from the inertia reel holder in one continuous movement.
3. Push the tongue into the latch. Make sure the seat belt is not twisted and that it is over your hips not your
stomach.

then try again. The inertia mechanism can lock if you pull the seat belt too quickly or if the machine
is parked on an slope.
