•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.
