Safety belt
WARNING
z Danger of injury! A damaged safety belt, a safety belt that
has been stretched in an accident, or a safety belt the belt
fixings or fastening screws of which have not been mounted
correctly will not protect you sufficiently in case of accident!
z
Replace the safety belt, if it is damaged, or if the machine
has been involved in an accident. Check that the belt fixings
and fastening screws are in perfect condition, before you put
on the safety belt.
z
If you have not put on the safety belt and are involved in an
accident, this may lead to severe injuries!
z
Put on the safety belt, before you start work and do not take
it off during work. Put on the safety belt in such a way that it
is not twisted and fits tightly.
The machine is provided with a lap belt which automatically
retracts. When pulled slowly, automatic belts ensure full freedom
of action, but block immediately, if you suddenly brake or accel-
erate, or if you drive downhill or take corners.

2. Slowly and continuously pull out the belt (1).
3. Insert the lock tongue (2) into the lock socket (3) until the
lock engages.
4. Then, pull the belt to check whether or not the lock tongue is
fully engaged.
The belt cannot be pulled out unless it is completely wound
up.
