OPERATION MACHINE OPERATIONS AND CONTROLS SEAT BELT G Before fitting the seat belt, check that there is no abnormality in the belt mount bracket or mounting belt. If it is worn or damaged, replace the seat belt. G Even if no abnormality can be seen in the belt, replace the seat belt every 3 years. The date of manu- facture of the belt is shown on the back of the belt. G Adjust the seat belt and fit it before starting operations. G Always wear the seat belt during operations. G Fit the seat belt so that it is not twisted. Check the mounting bolts of the belt fitting on the machine body for looseness, and re-tighten them if necessary.
The tightening torque for the mounting bolt is 24.5 ± 4.9 N•m (2.5 ± 0.5 kgf•m,18.1 ± 3.6 lbft). If the belt surface is scratched or frayed or if the fittings are broken or deformed, replace the seat belt unit. FASTENING AND REMOVING 1. Sit in the seat with your back against the seat back, and adjust the belt so that it is easy to carry out operations. 2. After adjusting the seat position, sit in the seat. Grip buckle (1) and tongue (2) in each hand and insert tongue (2) into buckle (1) . Confirm by pulling the belt that the tongue is securely locked to the buckle. 3. When removing the belt, raise the tip of the lever of buckle (1) to release the belt.
Fasten belt along your body without kinking it. Adjust the lengths of the belt on both the buckle and the tongue sides so that the buckle is located at the mid-point of your body front. 3-51 WARNING
