SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
SEAT BELTS
The seat belts used with the pilot's and front passenger's seats, and the
child's seat
(if
installed), are attached to fittings on the floorboard. The
buckle half is inboard of each seat and the link half is outboard of each seat.
The belts for the rear seat are attached to the seat frame, with the link
halves on the left and right sides of the seat bottom, and the buckles at the
center of the seat bottom.
To use the seat belts for the front 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. T'ighten the belt to a snug fit. Seat belts for the rear seat and the
child's seat, are used in the same manner as the belts for the front seats. To
release the seat belts, grasp the top of the buckle opposite the link and pull
upward.
SHOULDER HARNESSES
Each front seat 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. When rear
seat shoulder harnesses are furnished, they are attached adjacent to the
lower corners of the aft side windows. Each rear seat harness is stowed
behind a stowage sheath above an aft side window. No harness is available
for the child's seat.
To use a front or rear seat shoulder harness, fasten and adjust the seat
belt first. 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.
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.
Removing the shoulder 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.
