Seat Belt Inspection
Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.
1. Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate
must slide smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it's
securely latched.
2. Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it
releases freely.
3. Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any
damage, including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is
found, or if the seat belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt
system checked and/or replaced by an authorized POLARIS dealer.
4. To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with
mild soap and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household deter-
gents.
