3. In the event of a tipover, the seat and restraint
system should be inspected for damage and
replaced, if necessary.
NOTE: Operator restraints shall be examined at the
regular truck service intervals. It is
recommended that they be replaced if any of
the following conditions are found:
z Cut or frayed strap
z Worn or damaged hardware including anchor
points
z Buckle or retractor malfunction
z Loosen stitching
WARNING
The seat belt may cause the operator to bend at the
waist. If you are pregnant or have suffered from
some abdominal disease, consult a doctor before
you use the seat belt.
Fasten the Seat Belt
1. Grip the plate (connector) of the belt and pull the
belt from the retractor. Then insert the plate into the
slot of the buckle until a snap is heard. Pull on the
belt to confirm it is latched.
2. Make sure the belt is not twisted.
WARNING
If you fasten the belt across your abdomen, the belt
may injure your abdomen in an accident.
3. Be sure to fasten the belt across your hips, not
across your abdomen.
NOTE: The belt is designed to automatically adjust to
your size and movement. A quick pull on the
belt will confirm that the automatic adjuster will
hold the belt position in the event of an accident.
Release the Seat Belt
Push the button of the buckle to release the belt. The
belt will automatically retract when released. Hold the
plate of the belt and allow the belt to slowly retract.
