AND
SHOULDER
HARNESSES
All
seat
positions
are
equipped
with
seat
belts
(see
figure
7-4).
The
pilot's
and
passenger's
seats
are
also
equipped
with
separate
shoulder
harnesses.
Integrated
seat
belt/shoulder
harnesses
with
inertia
reels
can
be
furnished
for
the
pilot's
and
passenger's
seat
positions
if
desired.
SEAT BELTS
The
seat
belts
used
with
the
pilot's
seat,
passenger's
seat,
and
the
child's
seat
(if
installed)
are
attached
to
fittings
on
the
floorboard.
The
buckle
half
of
the
seat
belt
is
inboard
of
each
seat
and
has
a
fixed
length;
the
link
half
of
the
belt
is
outboard
and
is
the
adjustable
part
of
the
belt.
To
use
the
seat
belts
for
the
pilot's
and
passenger's
seats,
position
the
seat
as
desired,
and
then
lengthen
the
link
half
of
the
belt
as
needed
by
grasping
the
sides
of
the
link
and
pulling
against
the
belt.
Insert
and
lock
the
belt
link
into
the
buckle.
Tighten
the
belt
to
a
snug
fit
by
pulling
the
free
end
of
the
belt.
The
seat
belt
for
the
child's
seat
(if
installed)
is
used
in
the
same
manner
as
the
belts
for
the
pilot's
and
passenger's
seats.
To
release
the
seat
belts,
grasp
the
top
of
the
buckle
opposite
the
link
and
pull
upward.
SHOULDER
HARNESSES
Each
shoulder
harness
is
attached
to
a
rear
doorpost
above
the
window
line
and
is
stowed
behind
a
stowage
sheath
above
the
cabin
door.
To
stow
the
harness,
fold
it
and
place
it
behind
the
sheath.
No
harness
is
available
for
the
child's
seat.
The
shoulder
harnesses
are
used
by
fastening
and
adjusting
the
seat
belt
first.
Then,
lengthen
the
harness
as
required
by
pulling
on
the
connecting
link
on
the
end
of
the
harness
and
the
narrow
release
strap.
Snap
the
connecting
link
firmly
onto
the
retaining
stud
on
the
seat
belt
link
half.
Then
adjust
to
length.
Removing
the
harness
is
accomplished
by
pulling
upward
on
the
narrow
release
strap
and
removing
the
harness
connecting
link
from
the
stud
on
the
seat
belt
link.
In
an
emergency,
the
shoulder
harness
may
be
removed
by
releasing
the
seat
belt
first
and
allowing
the
harness,
still
attached
to
the
link
half
of
the
seat
belt,
to
drop
to
the
side
of
the
seat.
Adjustment
of
the
shoulder
harness
is
important.
A
properly
adjusted
harness
will
permit
the
occupant
to
lean
forward
enough
to
sit
completely
erect,
but
prevent
excessive
forward
movement
and
contact
with
objects
during
sudden
deceleration.
Also,
the
pilot
will
want
the
freedom
to
reach
all
controls
easily.
