User Manual

b. There should be less than one
inch (25 mm) gap between the
body and the belt.
c.
The shoulder belt must be
positioned over the shoulder,
it must never rest against the
neck or be worn under the
arm.
d. Make sure any slack is wound
up on the retractor and that
the belt is not twisted.
If the belt is locked, lean the body back to
remove any tension in the belt. After
releasing the belt, allow the belt to retract
completely by guiding the belt tongue until
the belt comes to a stop.
To unfasten the belt, push the release
button on the buckle and the belt should
spring out of the buckle. The seat belt
indicator will turn off once the driver's seat
belt is fastened.
Tether Belts
Make sure that the tether belt is attached
to the cab floor and seat frame. It should
be routed through the buckle on each side.
Often the attachments are made using a
split-type hook. Make sure both halves of
the hook are around the anchor bracket.
WARNING
DO NOT remove, modify, or replace
the
tether belt system with a different
tether system. A failed or missing teth-
er belt could allow the seat base to
fully extend in the event of an acci-
dent. Failure to comply may result in
death or personal injury.
WARNING
Failure to adjust external tether belts
properly
can cause excessive move-
ment of the seat in an accident. Tether
belts should be adjusted so that they
are taut when the seat is in its most
upward and forward position. Failure
to comply may result in death or per-
sonal injury.
Adjust an external tether by either
lengthening or shortening the strap. T
o
lengthen it:
1. Turn the buckle to a right angle to
the webbing.
2. Then pull the buckle.
