Warning!
Personal injury hazard. The seat belt provides positive support in the operator
seat during operation and travel that keeps the operator located within the
comfort zone for control operation. It also reduces the risk of injury in the event
a tipping incident occurs during use.
• Always buckle up before moving or working with the machine.
• Seat belt must not be twisted.
• Seat belt must run over the hips – not over the stomach – and must
always be applied tightly.
• Do not place the seat belt over hard, edged or fragile items (tools, ruler,
glasses, pen) carried inside your clothes.
• Never buckle up 2 persons with one seat belt.
• Check seat belts each time the operator uses the machine. Have dam-
aged parts immediately replaced by an authorized workshop before using
the machine.
• Always keep the seat belt and buckle clean, as dirt and debris can cause
the buckle to malfunction and accelerate internal webbing abrasion in the
belt.
• Seat belt buckle must not be obstructed by foreign bodies (paper or
similar); otherwise the buckle latch cannot lock into place!
Warning!
Personal injury hazard. The seat belt strap will be stretched after an accident
and is no longer serviceable.The seat belt will NOT provide adequate
protection in the future!
• Replace the seat belt after an accident.
• Have fastening points and seat fixture examined for damage or failure.
Repair or replace if damaged.
