Seat Bottom length. Under the front edge of the seat bottom, directly above the slide release lever is a handle which allows the seat bottom
to be pivoted forward, effectively “lengthening” the seat bottom for Drivers with longer legs. To move the seat base to the forward position,
stand beside the seat. Grasp the front handle with your right hand, and the side of the seat bottom with your left. Lift the seat slightly and
pivot it forward. Then press it down firmly into position.
Pivoting the seat bottom forward in this way also clears the seat bottom from the seat back, allowing the bottom to be hinged forward to
gain service access to the seat pedestal mechanism.
Driver’s Lap & Shoulder Belt
This belt is designed to reduce the risk of injury to the driver during an accident. When used prop-
erly, it provides the driver with increased protection. However, when used improperly, the ability
to provide this safety is compromised. Proper shoulder and lap belt adjustments are necessary to
allow the restraints to work effectively.
To use the seat belt/shoulder harness, first adjust the driver’s seat for maximum comfort and stabil-
ity. Sit up straight with your hips and back firmly positioned against the back of the seat. Pull out an
adequate amount of belt webbing and engage the buckle in the buckle receptacle until it “clicks”
ensuring that the belts are not twisted and that they lay flat across the chest and thigh/hip area.
The retractors will pull the harness snugly into place. Test that the belt is secure by tugging on it.
⚠ ⚠
WARNING! WARNING!
Do Not place the shoulder belt behind you. This will greatly reduce the
belt’s ability to protect you from serious injury in case of an accident.
The upper shoulder belt height adjustment is
for proper belt position across the Driver’s chest.
Adjust to place belt at the desired height.
