3.12 Seat belt
WARNING
Personal injury hazard.
☞ The seat belt provides positive support in the operator seat during
operation and travel and keeps the operator located within the comfort zone
for control operation. The seat belt also reduces the risk of injury in the
event a tipping incident occurs during use.
☞ Always buckle up before moving or working with the machine.
☞ Seat belt must not be twisted.
☞ Seat belt must run over the hips—not over the stomach—and must always
be applied tightly.
☞ Do not place the seat belt over hard, edged or fragile items (tools, meter
rule, glasses, pen) carried inside your clothes.
☞ Never buckle up 2 persons with one seat belt.
☞ Never operate the machine with the ROPS in the folded position.
☞ Check the seat belt each time you use the machine. Have damaged parts
immediately replaced by an authorized service facility before using the
machine.
☞ Always keep the seat belt and buckle clean, as dirt and debris may cause
the buckle to malfunction and accelerate internal webbing abrasion in the
belt.
☞ Seat belt buckle must not be obstructed by foreign bodies (paper or
similar); otherwise the buckle latch cannot lock into place!
WARNING
Personal injury hazard. After an accident the belt strap is stretched and no
longer serviceable. The seat belt will NOT provide adequate protection in the
future!
☞ Replace the seat belt after an accident.
☞ Have fastening points and seat fixture examined for damage or failure.
Repair or replace if damaged.
Seat belt C is for the operator's safety during work on construction sites and during road
travel.
Fastening the seat belt:
☞ Fasten seat belt C as follows before operating the machine:
• Hold belt on buckle latch A and run it slowly and steadily over the hips to buckle B.
• Insert buckle latch A
into buckle B with an audible click (pull test).
Important
Fasten the seat belt only if the rollbar is raised.
