Installation of Brackets
1. Stainless Steel Bolt-on Bracket Installation
Risk of severe injuries or death.
Repeated bending could weaken the bracket and cause it to fail
when loaded in an accident.
Make sure the webbing is not damaged during bracket bending or
the webbing may fail during an accident.
Never bend the bracket back and forth several times.
2. Snap-on bracket with eye bolt Installation
Assemble eye bolt and spring washer as shown
in the sketch. Bolt in eye bolt and tighten
securely. The optimum torque setting is 40 Nm
[30 ft-lb]. Pull either screw driver or similar tool
through eye and turn clockwise to tighten the
bolt securely.
Make sure the eye’s ring is pointing in direction
of pull (stress direction) as shown in the
following drawing.
This position will reduce the risk of unintended loosening of the eye bolt by
torque forces applied by the harness during racing. If you cannot achieve this
position by further tightening or loosening the bolt by a maximum of ¼ turn,
dismount the eye bolt and use 2 spring washers achieve the recommended
position.
Splint pin must be used!
3. Bending Procedure
Brackets which are restricted in alignment to the direction of pull
may be damaged or cut during an accident causing complete or
partial belt failure during an accident.
Severe injuries or death may occur.
4. Wrap [3-Bar Adjuster] systems for roll cage Installation
Risk of severe injuries or death.
Follow all instructions for Wrap Systems. Avoid slack in the system.
3-bar slides incorrectly wrapped or wrapped too far away from the
roll cage bar may allow webbing to slide during an accident. Slippage
or elongation will occur which may reduce the effectiveness of the
harness belt. Shoulder belts will give extra travel allowing possible
head and chest impact into the steering wheel.
The webbing must be wrapped tightly!
Never install a lap belt directly to a roll cage using the wrap around
technique.
1.
Slide the webbing through slot 1 and 2 as shown
2.
Make sure the strap end protrudes at least 100 mm [4“] or even longer
from slot 2. If it is less than 100 mm [4”] disassemble and start over again.
If longer, roll in the strap end and fix it by a cable tie to the shoulder belt.
