Seat Belt
Inspect
Always check the condition of the seat belt and mounting hardware before operating the machine.Replace the seat belt at least once every three years, regardless of appearance. A date label, to determine the age of the belt, is sewn onto each belt.
Inspect the belt, buckle, and anticreep slides.Replace the belt or parts if damage exists, or if the belt is frayed.
If the bolt and nut that holds the two parts of the seat belt mounting hooks together are not correctly installed, the hooks can separate from their mounting.Inspect the hooks of each half of the belt to make sure the bolt and nut are secure and correctly installed. See illustration.
Inspect the seat belt mounting hardware.Replace the mounting eye bolts if they are worn or damaged.Be sure all mounting bolts are tight.Operator's Seat Accumulator
