ROLL-OVER PROTECTIVE STRUCTURE AND SAFETY BELTS
HUV
ýWARNING
•The ROPS must be properly installed before operating the vehicle. Husqvarna strongly urges that the vehicle’s occupants be properly restrained at all times with the safety belts provided.
Pregnant woman: Consult your doctor for specific recommendations. The safety belt should be worn securely and as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
Injured person: Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
To secure the safety belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat. Pull the safety belt out of the retractor and insert the tab into the buckle. A click will be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Position the lap belt as low as possible on the hips – not on the waist.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop. It also may lock if the occupant leans forward too quickly. A slow, easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and the occupant can move freely. If the safety belt cannot be pulled out of the retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. It should then pull smoothly out of the retractor.
To release the safety belt, press the buckle release button (1) and allow the belt to retract (Figure 7). If the belt does not retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains free of twists as it retracts.
