the belt fabrication date. Replace the belt if the date
on the label is older than three years.

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.

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.
