The following seat belt operation checks must be per-
formed:
• With  hood  closed  and  in  locked  position,  pull
seat belt slowly from retractor assembly. Make
sure seat belt pulls out and retracts smoothly. If
seat belt  does  not  pull  out  of  retractor assem-
bly, internal latch may be locked. Pull firmly on
seat  belt  and  hold  for  a  moment  to  remove
slack  from  belt  in  retractor.  Release  seat  belt.
Seat  belt  will  retract and  internal  latch will  un-
lock. If seat belt cannot be pulled from retractor
assembly  or  belt  will  not  retract,  replace  seat
belt assembly.
• With  hood  closed  and  in  locked  position,  pull
seat  belt  with  a  sudden  jerk.  Make  sure  seat
belt will not pull from retractor assembly. If seat
belt  can  be  pulled  from  retractor,  when  it  is
pulled with a sudden jerk, replace seat belt as-
sembly.
• With  hood  in  open  position,  make  sure  seat
belt will not pull from retractor assembly. If seat
belt  can  be  pulled from  retractor,  with hood  in
open position, replace seat belt assembly.
Make  sure  seat  rails  and  latch  striker  are  not  loose.
The  seat  rails  must  lock  tightly  in  position,  but  move
freely when unlocked. The seat rails must be correctly
fastened  to  hood  and  hood  fastened  to  hinges  on
frame.  The  hood  must  be  fully  closed.  Attempt  to  lift
hood to make sure it is closed.
Adjust hood, hood latch, and latch striker when any of
parts  of  operator  restraint system  are  installed or  re-
placed. See section Hood, Seat, and Side Covers Re-
placement  in  this  manual  for  adjustment  procedures
for hood.
