Maintaining the seat belt
DANGER
There is a risk to life if the seat belt fails during an
accident!
If the seat belt is faulty, it may tear or open during an
accident and no longer keep the driver in the driver's
seat. The driver may therefore be hurled against the
truck components or out of the truck.
– Ensure operational reliability by continually test-
ing.
– Do not use a truck with a defective seat belt.
– Only have a defective belt replaced by your serv-
ice centre.
– Only use genuine spare parts.
– Do not make any changes to the belt.
NOTE
Carry out the following checks on a regular
basis (monthly). In the case of significant
strain, a daily check is necessary.
Checking the seat belt
– Pull out the belt (3) completely and check
for wear.
The belt must not be frayed or cut. The stitch-
ing must not be loose.
– Check whether the belt is dirty.
– Check whether parts are worn or damaged,
including the attachment points.
– Check the buckle (1) to ensure that it locks
in properly.
When the belt tongue (2) is inserted, the belt
must be held securely.
