ELTS

Fasten seat belts before moving vehicle, preferably as soon as you enter

the cab. Before fastening, adjust the seat to the position in which you will drive.

Sit erect and well back in the seat. Grasp the buckle end and the flat metal

"eye" end of your seat belt and position it as low on the hips as possible, ex-

tending the belt from any windup device. Insert the eye into the buckle until an

audible click is heard. Adjust the belt snugly by pulling on the end of the belt

extending from the buckle. To remove, pull outward on the buckle release or

push the button in the middle of the buckle (depending on the type of buckle

furnished).

Do not wear the belt in a twisted condition or pinched between the seat

structure members. Never use a belt for more than one person at a time. Keep

the seat belt over the hip-pelvic area; do not adjust a seat belt across the abdo-

men.

Keep belts clean and dry. Clean with soap and water. Do not bleach. Keep

sharp and damaging objects away from belts. Inspect belts, buckles, retraction

and anchor periodically for possible defects. Replace belts if cut, weakened or

frayed. Any seat belt severely strained in an accident should be replaced imme-

diately.
