CLEANING
1. Task
Clean the restraint system to remove dirt and unwanted oil and grease. This helps the restraint system
to last longer and prevents corrosion of the metal parts. The webbing is to be cleaned with fresh water
and a mild soap. The metal fittings are cleaned with a cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
After cleaning the assemblies, protect them from moisture, dirt, or other contamination. Keep them
protected until you do a visual check and return the restraint system to service.

3. Procedure
CAUTIONS: 1. THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM
MUST NOT
BE MACHINE WASHED BECAUSE THE
WEBBING WILL SHRINK AND ITS PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS WILL BE
CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY.
2. THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM MAY BE DRY CLEANED. HOWEVER, THE WEBBING
WILL LOSE ITS ABRASION RESISTANT COATING AFTER EACH CLEANING AND
ITS SERVICE LIFE WILL THEREFORE BE DECREASED.
3. REFER TO THE “CHECK” SECTION OF THIS MANUAL TO DETERMINE
WHEN THE WEBBING OF A RESTRAINT SYSTEM MUST BE REPLACED BY
AMSAFE OR AN AMSAFE APPROVED REPAIR STATION.
4. WHEN CLEANING THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM, CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO
KEEP AWAY FOREIGN MATTER AND CLEANING MEDIA FROM THE
HARDWARE ASSEMBLIES.
5. NO SOAP OR WATER IS TO BE USED ON METAL PARTS.
