ASV ST50 Scout, Operation And Maintenance Manual

Page: 8 / 60

The ST-50 is equipped with
many safety features to reduce
the possibility of injury to the
operator or passenger during
operation.
These features include:
A. Seat Belts
The seat belts are designed to
keep the operator and passen-
ger (if present) securely fas-
tened in the seats should the
machine encounter uneven ter-
rain or come to a sudden stop.
Always fasten your seat belt
prior to operating the machine.
Serious injury or even death
could result if your seat belt is
left unfastened during operation.
B. Operator Seat Belt Safety
Switch
The operator’s seat belt is
equipped with a safety switch
ensuring that the operator is
seated inside the machine with
seat belt fastened before any
motion is allowed to take place.
It is enabled by the operator
presence switch whenever the
operator seat is occupied.
C. Operator and Passenger
Presence Switches
The presence switches are acti-
vated whenever their respective
seats are occupied.
D. Passenger Seat Belt Safety
Switch
The passenger’s seat belt is
equipped with a safety switch,
enabled by the passenger pres-
ence switch, that is activated
whenever the passenger seat is
occupied. It ensures that a pas-
senger (if present) is seated
inside the machine with seat belt
fastened before any machine
movement can take place.
Note: If one or both seat belts
are unfastened during operation
(not recommended) the machine
will not come to a sudden stop
(to prevent occupant injury), but
when the operator does stop the
machine, the motion controls will
be disabled until occupant seat
belts are fastened and item F is
pressed.
