8.22 Safety Belts and Harnesses
Before each flight check the safety belt for any damage. Cuts, tears
and other damage to the belt will greatly reduce its effectiveness.
Replace the belt or damaged parts immediately with original spare
parts. Never use a damaged harness belt. Make sure the buckles
are free of any obstruction and lock securely.
Note:
One indication that the belt was exposed to excess strain
and therefore requires replacement is when the stitches
on the belt are ripped open and are protruding from
underneath the astm-plastic cover.
Note:
Any changes made to the belt will automatically void the
warranty.
A safety belt which was in use during an accident has been
weakened and is unfit for further use and must be replaced!
Cleaning
To clean the belt, use soap and warm water. Do not use any
solvents! Do not dry the belt in the sun or rear a radiator.
Improper cleaning or drying of the harness belts can weaken
them, reduce their effectiveness and can result in serious
personal injury or death.
