Inspect Seat Belt
Check seat belt and mounting hardware as
needed. Inspect the webbing, buckle and latch,
retractor, and mounting hardware. Replace any
worn or damaged components.
Buckle and Latch
Check that the buckle and latch (1) are not broken
or corroded. When inserting the latch into the
buckle, the latch should insert smoothly until an
audible click is heard. Latch should not release
when the seat belt is tugged.

wear. Check the area near the buckle and latch and anywhere the seat belt has contact with equipment or
seat.

Check that the retractor (3) operates smoothly when the belt is pulled and released. Retractor should spool
belt without locking.
Mounting Hardware
Inspect the seat belt mounting bolts (4) on both sides of the seat to ensure they are tight. Replace missing,
damaged, or corroded bolts.
