COMBINATION LAP AND SHOULDER BELT RESTRAINT SYSTEM
COMBINATION LAP AND SHOULDER BELT
RESTRAINT SYSTEM USE AND MAINTENANCE
This vehicle is shipped with a combination lap and shoulder belt restraint system for each occupant
location. The combination lap and shoulder belt restraint system must be installed in the kart
according to the Assembly Instructions provided with this kart.
The proper use of the combination lap and shoulder belt restraint system can reduce the chance of and/or severity of injury in an accident. The combination lap
and shoulder belt restraint system must be worn by each occupant while the kart is being operated.
_t_ WARNING:The number of occupants must
never exceed the number of restraint systems in the kart. Never use a single belt for more than
one person. Failure to follow these warnings could increase the risk and!or severity of injury in
an accident.
To properly fasten and adjust the combination lap and shoulder belt restraint system (see figure below):
2 Find the long strap of the restraintsystem (1A
and 1B) and pull it across the shoulder, chest and lap inserting the metal tongue (2), on the
strap, into the buckle (3) until it is securely
latched. To do this may require the adjustment of
the shoulder portion of the strap (1A) to its
maximum length and unwinding of the webbing in
the web winder (4). To adjust the shoulder portion of the strap (1A) to the maximum length, lift up on
the metal tab (SA) on the adjuster (5) and pull down on the strap (1A).
3. In two seat karts, follow the above instructions and use the buckle closest to the hip of the
occupant when fastening the restraint system.
4. Adjust the lap part of the belt (1B) by pulling up
on the shoulder part of the belt (1A) until the lap
part of the belt fits snugly and as low as possible around the hips.
1. Adjust the seat location to the position that allows full operation of the break and throttle pedals, and
steering wheel by the operator.
11
5. Adjust the shoulder part of the belt (1A) by pulling down on the free end of the shoulder belt (6). Make sure that all of the webbing has been unwound from the web winder (4) and that the
belt is snug across the shoulder and chest with no more than one inch of space between the
chest of the occupant and the belt.
6. For a two seat kart, the passenger must be restrained in the same manner as outlined in
steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 above. Ifthe occupants are
not capable of accomplishing steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 above, adult supervision, as with other aspects of
the proper use of the kart, must ensure that the
occupants are properly restrained as described in steps 2, 3, 4, and 5 above.
_1_ WARNING:The lap belt portion of the
restraint system must fit snugly and as low as possible around the occupant's hips. If the
combination lap and shoulder belt restraint system are not used properly, the risk of injury in
an accident greatly increases.
_lk WARNING: Use the shoulder portion of the
belt over the shoulder only. Never place the shoulder belt under the arm. Never place it behind the neck and over the other shoulder.
Failure to follow these warnings could increase the risk and/or severity of injury in an accident.
_ WARNING: Never use a combination lap and
shoulder belt restraint system for more than one
person. Failure to follow this warning could increase the risk and!or severity of injury in an
accident.
To unfasten the restraint system:
1.
Push the red release button on the buckle. That allows the tongue to unlatch from the buckle.
2.
While the belt retracts, guide the tongue to its
original retracted position. If the tongue is net guided, it may strike the occupant and cause injury.
Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt Restraint System Inspection:
1.
Each time before operating the kart:
a. Inspect the webbing of the restraint system(s)
for abrasion, cuts or broken stitching. Replace the restraint system(s) if the webbing is cut or
abraded.
b.
Verify that the metal tongue(s) latches securely when inserted in the buckle(s). If not,
clean the buckle(s) and metal tongue(s) as described in the Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt Restraint System Maintenance section below.
C. Verify that the metal tongue(s) releases from
the buckle(s) when the release button(s) is pressed. If not, clean the buckle(s) and metal
tongue(s) as described in the Combination
Lap and Shoulder Belt Restraint System Maintenance section below.
"d. Verify that the web winder(s) is retracting the
web located above the adjuster. If not, clean
the web winder(s) and webbing as described in the Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt
Restraint System Maintenance section below.
e. Inspect the plastic sleeves (7) for damage. If
the plastic sleeves do not hold the belt erect they must be replaced.
f. Verify that the restraint system(s) is securely
attached to the kart with the specified bolts and nuts.
2. If any of the above fault conditions exist, DO NOT operate the kart until corrected.
Combination Lap and Shoulder Belt Restraint System
Maintenance: 1, The buckle(s) and metal tongue(s) may require
periodic cleaning to ensure that they latch and
unlatch properly. That can be accomplished by
flushing them out with water and drying. The
buckle(s) must be dried to ensure there is no
water inside that can freeze and render the
buckle(s) inoperable.
12
.
The web winder(s) and or webbing may require periodic cleaning to ensure that they wind up the
webbing located above the adjuster. That can be accomplished by flushing them out with water and
drying. The web winder(s) and webbing must be dried to ensure there is no water that can freeze
and render the web winder(s) inoperable.
3.
The webbing of the restraint system(s) may
require periodic cleaning which can be accomplished by washing with plain water. ]-he
webbing must be dried to prevent freezing.
_l_ WARNING: The maintenance of the restraint
system as described above is required to ensure
proper functioning to reduce the risk and/or
severity of injury in an accident.
_1_ WARNING:The proper functioning of the
web winder(s) and plastic sleeves on the belts
are critical to minimizing the possibility of the belts being outside the kart and becoming entangled in the rear wheels or snagging a fixed
object.
