• Before fastening the seat belt, check that there is no abnormality in the securing brackets or belt. If
there is any wear or damage, replace.
• Even if there appears to be no abnormality in the seat belt, replace the seat belt once every 3 years. The
date of manufacture is woven on the reverse side of the belt.

• Always use the seat belt when operating the machine.

The tightening torque for the mounting bolt is 24.5 ± 4.9 Nm.
If the belt surface is scratched or frayed or if the fittings are broken or deformed, replace the seat belt unit.
