•Tension using handle (Fig. I)
•Loosening using lever or alternatively by releasing the
belt tongue from the belt buckle (Fig. J).
Safety belt
The safety belt must run at an angle of between 30° and
75° to the horizontal (Fig. K), with a larger angle being
preferable. It must fit low on the pelvis.
Make sure that the belt lies flat and is not twisted at any
point.
The lap belt must be attached on both sides to the rear
securement points. To close the lock, insert the tongue into
the buckle. It clicks into place. The lock is opened by pres-
sing the large button.
The safety belt should fit firmly but not cut in. To tighten
the belt pull on the loose end of the belt. You can further
adjust the belt by pushing the clasp forwards in the open
position.
The shoulder belt hooks into the lap belt. It must fit close
to the body across the pelvis, chest and over the shoulder.
Place the clasp in front of the occupant's body, not on the
pelvic bone! The clasp must be positioned in such a way
that, in the event of an accident, it cannot be accidentally
released by attachments.
