• The seat belt like the ROLL BAR, needs to be periodically
inspected to verify that the integrity has not been
compromised through normal machine use, misuse, age
degradation, modifications, or a roll over. If the seat belt
does not pass all of the following tests, it should be replaced.
• BEFORE EACH USE – Conduct the following
inspections/maintenance of the seat belt and retraction
mechanism:
1) Check for dirt or debris in the retraction mechanism. If
dirt or debris is found, it should be removed.
2) Check to make sure the retraction mechanism retracts
easily and completely.
3) Check for damage to any part of the seat belt (A, Figure
2) such as nicks, cuts, loose stitching, or fraying.
4) Check that the buckle and latch (B) operate properly and
that the latch plate is not excessively worn, deformed, or
the buckle is damaged or cracked. The seat belt should
latch and release easily.
