14
Harness Adjustment
The belt should he adjusted so that the hand will pass between
the strap and the chest. The lap strap should be reasonably tight and
the buckle must rest on the hip nearer the centre of the vehicle.
Adjustment to lower half of belt:
Relieve any tension on the belt and pull the belt over the roller
in the buckle, the roller has a self-locking action and once the belt
has been adjusted it will lock the belt in position.
Adjustment to upper half of belt:
Pull the grey slide on the lower part of the lap strap upwards to
shorten and downwards to lengthen.
Cleaning
Badly stained safety belts may be dry cleaned. The cleaner
should be advised of the nature of staining. Belts subjected to
normal soiling may be cleaned with soap, or proprietary brand
detergents dissolved in hot water.
Seat Adjustment (Fig. 14)
The driver's and passenger's seats are adjustable for leg reach by
lifting the lever at the outer side of each seat and sliding the seat to
the desired position. Allow the lever to re-engage in the nearest
adjustment notch. Both seats will tilt forward to provide access to
the rear compartment, when the clip at the base of the seat back is
released.
