If the seat belt is torn, so the pulling motion of the belt is interrupted during extension, or the belt cannot be inserted into the buckle properly, replace the seat belt assembly. The seat belt must be checked at regular service intervals.

Seat belts could "jack-knife" the operator—the upper body bends tightly at the waist.

If the seat belt is fastened across the operator's abdomen during an accident, it could cause serious internal injuries. NOTICE:

The following maintenance guidelines detail how to inspect seat belt for "cuts, fraying, extreme or unusual wear of the webbing, etc., and damage to the buckle, retractor, hardware, or other factors", which indicate that belt change is necessary. – Cuts, fraying, or excessive wear on the webbing would indicate the need for change of the seat belt system. – Check buckle and latch for proper operation and to determine if latch plate is worn, deformed, or buckle is damaged or casing broken. – Check the retractor web storage device operation to make sure that it locks properly and that it spools out and retracts webbing properly.
