Inspect the seat belt for signs of fraying and stretching.
Check that the stitching is not loose or damaged. Check
that the buckle assembly is undamaged and works
correctly.
Check that the belt mounting bolts are undamaged,
correctly fitted and tightened.
Check seats are undamaged and secure. Check seat
adjustments for correct operation.
Checking the FOPS Structure
All excavators are designed so that an operator's
protective structure can be fitted. In certain applications
such as demolition, machines must be fitted with the
optional Falling Objects Protection Structure (FOPS). It is
the operator's responsibility to identify the risk of an
application.
!MWARNING
You could be killed or seriously injured if you operate
a machine with a damaged or missing ROPS/FOPS. If
the Roll Over Protection Structure (ROPS)/Falling
Objects Protection Structure (FOPS) has been in an
accident, do not use the machine until the structure
has been renewed. Modifications and repairs that are
not approved by the manufacturer may be dangerous
and will invalidate the ROPS/FOPS certification.

Check that all the FOPS mounting bolts are in place and
undamaged. Check the FOPS mounting bolts for correct
torque tightness.
