SEAT BELTS
Note: Based on the recommendation of seat belt manufacturers and other available information,
seat belts should only be used on these vehicles in conjunction with properly installed
overhead protection such as a steel cab. A standard Taylor-Dunn fiberglass cab does not
constitute overhead protection.
Seat Belts (optional)
Your vehicle may be equipped with safety seat belts. The requirement for the use of safety seat
belts is to be determined by the application where the vehicle is operated.
Safety seat belts should only be installed on vehicles equipped with factory approved Roll Over
Protection (ROP) such as a steel cab or cage. Fiberglass cabs or sun tops do not qualify as ROP.
The use of safety seat belts helps to restrain you and your passengers in case of a collision.
Safety belts provide the best restraint when:
•
The occupant is sitting upright (not slouched)
•
The lap belt is snug and low on the hips
•
The shoulder belt is snug against the chest
•
The knees are straight forward
Refer to the following pages for directions on how to properly use safety belts.
In the event of a vehicle roll over, studies have indicated that it is safer to be able to move
away from a rolling vehicle unless the vehicle is equipped with Roll Over Protection (ROP).
Do not use seat belts unless the vehicle is equipped with ROP. Using seat belts in a vehicle
without ROP may result in occupants being crushed while restrained in the vehicle.
WARNING
•
Do Not use seat belts in a vehicle that is not equipped with roll over protection.
•
Make sure you (the driver) and all passengers are properly seated in approved seating
positions and wearing seat belts. Improper sitting and/or failure to wear seat belts may
result in severe bodily injury in a collision or other vehicle accident.
•
If equipped with a shoulder belt, do not wear the shoulder belt under the arm. Never
swing it around the neck over the inside shoulder.
•
Never use a single belt for more than one person or across more than one seating
position.
•
Do not allow a passenger to hold a child while the vehicle is moving. The passenger
cannot protect a child in a collision and the child may be severely injured.
•
Failure to follow these rules will increase the risk of injury in a collision or other
vehicle accident.
• All seat belts and seat belt hardware should be inspected by a qualified technician after
any collision. Failure to confirm proper operation of seat belt assemblies may result in
failure of the seat belt in another collision leading to severe bodily injury.
WARNING
Doors (Optional) on this vehicle are designed for protection against the weather. Do not
rely on the doors to keep the occupants contained within the vehicle or to protect against
injury in an accident.
