USE AND MAINTENANCE
Always wear your seatbelt. If you need information on how to use your seatbelt
safely, visit www.nhtsa.gov.
Adjust and wear the lap belt portion low and tight across your hips.
Each seatbelt is intended to restrain only one person at a time.
Never attempt to restrain a child in your lap by using the 3-point retractable seatbelt
around both you and the child. The child could be severely injured or killed in the
event of an accident. Check with your state for local laws regarding the use of
seatbelts and small children.
Do not us this seatbelt or parts of this seatbelt kit with other types of seatbelts. Doing
so may result in serious injury or death in the event of an accident.
WARNING: FAILURE TO PROPERLY INSTALL, USE, PERIODICALLY
INSPECT AND MAINTAIN THIS SEATBELT COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH.
Maintenance
Inspect the seatbelt and retractor assembly regularly. If the assembly does not work
properly or if the seatbelt has cuts or frayed, worn webbing, it must be replaced.
More frequent inspections may be necessary if the seatbelt is subjected to harsh
treatment or extreme conditions.
Whenever a vehicle is involved in a collision you must replace every part of the
seatbelt kit including the mounting hardware.
Clean seatbelts with mild soap and water. NEVER bleach or re-dye the seatbelts.
Doing so will severely weaken the webbing.
Exposure to the elements will weaken the webbing on your seatbelts reducing the
effective safety feature by more than 50%. Inspect your seatbelts regularly.
Caution
Death or serious injury could result from not properly threading the webbing through
the adjustable ends. Maintain a minimum of one inch of webbing beyond the anchor.
If the xed end of a seatbelt is too long to allow a snug t on a small occupant, do not
use the belt. Children weighing less than 80 lbs should only be secured in an approved
child safety or booster seat according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
