combination lap and shoulder belt for maximum
restraint next to the front of the unit.

body and insert it into the buckle. Be sure
the buckle “clicks” to indicate that the spade is

across the chest and shoulder area. Do not lay
it against the neck.

All seat belt retractors are equipped with locks that
engage when the belt moves too fast. Move the spade
end slowly and steadily when fastening to prevent
locking. If belt locks while fastening, release end and
let it retract fully. Then pull again to fasten.
