pull out on the male end until the correct length is
obtained. To latch the belt, insert the male end
into the belt latch ①, located on the right side of
the seat. Ensure that the belt is securely latched
during use, and that the belt length is correctly
adjusted for the size of each operator.
Use soap and water to clean the seat belt if
necessary. Do not use carbon tetrachloride,
naphtha, etc., as these substances will weaken
the webbing. Additionally, do not bleach or
re-dye the webbing, as these products will also
weaken the webbing.
Replace the seat belt if it becomes damaged or
worn.
Operator Seat Presence Switch
The operator presence switch is located beneath
the seat and is connected to the engine start and
run systems.
To start the tractor the operator MUST be in the
