KNOW YOUR LIFT TRUCK
◆◆
Seat Belt
100978
The seat belt will help to restrain you in acci-
dents such as a tipover or mast and attachments
collision. If you are unrestrained in a tipover,
you can fall outside of the operator’s compart-
ment and be crushed by the lift truck. If you are
unrestrained and the lift truck comes to a sud-
den stop, you will continue moving forward
until you hit a solid object.
Wear your seat belt anytime you operate a lift
truck.
If the seat belt is torn, the pulling motion is
interrupted during extension of the belt, or the
belt cannot be inserted into the buckle properly.
Replace the seat belt assembly.
The seat belt shall be examined at the regular
service intervals. It is recommended that it be
replaced if any of the following conditions are
found.
– Cut or frayed strap
– Worn or damaged hardware, including
anchor points
– Buckle or retractor malfunction
– Loose stitching
Also, replace the seat belt assembly if it was
worn during an accident.

Seat belts can “jack-knife” drivers—
the upper body bends tightly at the
waist. If you are pregnant or have suf-
fered an abdominal disease or injury,
consult a doctor before using the seat
belt.
