Seat Belt Adjustment

Seat Belt Always check the condition of the seat belt and its mounting hardware before operating the machine. Replace the seat belt at least once every three years, regardless of its appearance. Date label (1) indicates the belt fabrication date. Replace the belt if the date on the label is older than three years. Inspect for worn or frayed webbing. Check for a worn or damaged buckle. Replace the belt, buckle or slide if they are worn or damaged. Inspect the belt mounting hardware at locations (2). Have Unit Maintenance replace any damaged or worn hardware. Keep the mounting bolts tight. Seat Belt Adjustment The seat belt is equipped with an automatic locking retractor. This retractor will lock if the belt is pulled or jerked after the belt is pulled out of the retractor. The buckle end of the seat belt is equipped with a comfort ride sleeve. This sleeve will allow the operator limited movement with the seat belt fastened. Pull seat belt (1) out of the retractor in a continuous motion. Fasten seat belt catch (2) into buckle (3). Check to make sure the seat belt is placed low across the lap. The retractor will adjust the belt length and lock in place. The operator has limited movement while wearing the seat belt. To Release the Seat Belt Push the release button on the buckle to release the seat belt. The seat belt will automatically retract into the retractor. 1 3 2 2 1 34 Operation Section Monitoring Systems and Cab Features TM5-2430-200-10
