PART 5: SEAT AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS INSPECTION OF THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM
(R05/10) Y53-6032 – 83 –
Tether Adjustment
WARNING! Failure to adjust tether belts prop-
erly can cause excessive movement of the
seat in an accident. This could lead to death
or greater injuries to you. Tether belts should
be adjusted so that they are taut when the
seat is in its most upward and forward posi-
tion.
WARNING! Before driving or riding in a vehi-
cle, ensure that there is adequate head clear-
ance at maximum upward travel of seat.
Shorten the tether belt as necessary to pro-
vide adequate head clearance. Death or seri-
ous injury may occur if head clearance is not
adequate.
Make sure the tether belt is attached to the cab deck and
seat frame. It should be routed through the buckle on each
side.
To lengthen the tether, turn the buckle to a right angle to
the webbing. Then pull the buckle. To shorten the tether,
pull on the strap.
Inspection of the Restraint System
WARNING! Failure to properly inspect and
maintain restraint systems can lead to serious
injury or loss of life. Without periodic inspec-
tion and maintenance to detect unsafe condi-
tions, seat restraint components can wear out
or not protect you in an accident.
