Maintaining the seat belt
DANGER
There is a risk to life if the seat belt fails during an
accident!
If the seat belt is faulty, it may tear or open during
an accident and no longer keep the driver in the
driver's seat. The driver may therefore be hurled
against the truck components or out of the truck.
– Ensure operational reliability by continually
testing.
– Do not use a truck with a defective seat belt.
– Only have a defective belt replaced by your
service centre.
– Only use genuine spare parts.
– Do not make any changes to the belt.
NOTE
Carry out the following checks on a regular
basis (monthly). In the case of significant
strain, a daily check is necessary.
