SAFETY INFORMATION 31
Seat Belt Operation
MACK vehicles are equipped with locking retractable seat belts.
For all seating positions in your MACK vehicle, this type of seat belt is a combination
lap and shoulder belt.
This type of belt is designed to lock (prevent belt travel out of the retractor) only during
sudden stops or impacts. This feature allows the operator to move freely under normal
conditions.
Fastening Seat Belt
1 Pull clip so the belt crosses your shoulder and lap and insert it into the buckle until
an audible snap is heard.
2 Make sure the clip is securely fastened into the buckle.
3 To tighten the lap portion of the combination belt, pull upward on the shoulder portion
until the lap portion fits snugly. The belt should rest as low on your hips as possible.
DANGER
Never wear the shoulder portion of the
belt under your arm or behind your back.
Improper use will increase your chances of
injury during a collision.
DANGER
To prevent possible injury the belt must be
positioned low over the pelvis, below the
abdomen. If the belt is buckled too high,
it will apply force to the abdomen, not
the pelvic region, and could cause serious
internal injuries during a sudden stop.
DANGER
Do NOT wear seat belt loosely. Do NOT
use one belt for more than one person
