INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE ROLL BAR SEAT BELT

•The seat belt like the ROLL BAR, needs to be periodically inspected to verify that the integrity has not been compromised through normal machine use, misuse, age degradation, modifications, or a roll over. If the seat belt does not pass all of the following tests, it should be replaced.

•BEFORE EACH USE – Conduct the following inspections/maintenance of the seat belt and retraction mechanism:

1)Check for dirt or debris in the retraction mechanism. If dirt or debris is found, it should be removed.

2)Check to make sure the retraction mechanism retracts easily and completely.

3)Check for damage to any part of the seat belt such as nicks, cuts, loose stitching, or fraying.

4)Check that the buckle and latch operate properly and that the latch plate is not excessively worn, deformed, or the buckle is damaged or cracked. The seat belt should latch and release easily.
