WARNING
Replace the entire belt system (retrac-
tor and buckle side) if replacement of
any one part is necessary. Unexposed
damage to one or more components
could prevent the system from func-
tioning properly the next time it is
needed. Failure to comply may result
in personal injury or death.
1. Check the web wear in the system.
The webbing must be closely
examined to determine if it is coming
into contact with any sharp or rough
surfaces on the seat or other parts of
the cab interior. These areas are
typical places where the web will
experience cutting or abrasion. Cuts,
fraying, or excessive wear would
indicate the need for replacement of
the seat belt system.
2. The pillar web guide (D-loop) is the
area where almost constant
movement of the seat belt webbing
occurs because of relative movement
between the seat and cab.
3. Check the Comfort Clip for cracks or
possible damage and check for proper
operation.
4. Check buckle and latch for proper
operation and to determine if latch
plate is worn, deformed, or damaged.
5. Inspect the retractor web storage
device, which is mounted on the floor
of the vehicle, for damage. The
retractor is the heart of the occupant
restraint system and can often be
damaged if abused, even
unintentionally. Check operation to
ensure that it is not locked up and that
it spools out and retracts webbing
properly.
6. If tethers are used, be sure they are
properly attached to the seat and, if
adjustable, that they are adjusted in
accordance with installation
instructions. Tethers must also be
inspected for web wear and proper
tightness of mounting hardware.
7. Mounting hardware should be
evaluated for corrosion, and for
tightness of bolts and nuts.
8. Check web in areas exposed to
ultraviolet rays from the sun. If the
color of the web in these areas is gray
to light brown, the physical strength of
the web may have deteriorated due to
exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays.
Replace the system.
