5.3 Seatbelt Systems — Australia
WARNING: Follow the Ford approved
removal and installation procedures for
the seatbelt system to ensure correct
function of the restraints system.
The removal and reinstallation of the seatbelt,
restrainer or any component of the seatbelt
system should be avoided. However if removal
and re-installation of the system is required during
the conversion, follow the removal and
installation guidelines of the seatbelt system as
described in the workshop manual. Please consult
your local National Sales Company representative
for further information.
When removing the seatbelt system, a seatbelt
webbing forked retainer should be applied to the
webbing 200mm below the webbing button stop.
This prevents a situation where all the webbing
runs back into the retractor and the retractor
becomes locked.
When reinstalling, fit the retractor to the body
first and gently pull the webbing out of the
retractor to allow fitment of the D loop. Then
remove the forked retainer. If the retractor is
locked, allow a small amount of webbing to reel
back into the retractor to allow the webbing lock
to release. Do not attempt to release the retractor
by pulling on the webbing with significant force
or by manually interfering with the locking
mechanism.
