Fitting the Combined Systems - 2Point Occupant Restraint
1. Ensure the Comfort Clip is released (Fig 15) and press the buckle to
release the lap belt.
2. Pull the metal tongue on the black webbing upwards to release the
webbing from both inertia reels.
3. Position the webbing across the occupant with the black webbing
forming the lap belt and the red webbing forming the shoulder belt
(Fig 16).
4. Insert the tongue fixed to the black webbing into the stalk buckle. Adjust
for comfort by raising the webbing on the shoulder by two finger widths,
unlock the Comfort Clip to take up the slack, then re-lock the clip so that
it rests on the reel cover.

The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of
30° or more to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in
order to fit low across the pelvis reducing the possibility of the belt
loading the abdomen (Fig 17). The pelvic restraint is designed to bear up-
on the bony structure of the body and should be worn low across the
front of the pelvis with any junctions between the pelvic and shoulder
restraints located near the wearers hips.
