CORRECT POSITIONING OF BELTS

I WARNING
A side-view pelvic-belt angle of 30° to 75° to the horizontal (see Figure 14-8) is preferred to lower pelvic belt angles.
It is imperative that you position the belts properly. Paragraphs 1 to 6 below explain how to properly position the restraint belts.
1. The pelvic belt should be worn low across the front of the pelvis so that the angle of the pelvic belt is within the preferred
zone of 30° to 75° to the horizontal. See Figure 14-8. A steeper (greater) angle within the preferred zone is desirable.
