Users and Maintenance Instructions

USE

  • The restraint is designed to be used by one person only and intended for use by occupants of adult build.
  • It is important to wear the restraint on each journey.
  • At all times adjust to leave no excess slackness. FIRSTLY CONNECT AND FULLY TIGHTEN THE LAP STRAP, THEN TIGHTEN SHOULDER STRAPS.
  • Shoulder straps should pass across the centre of the shoulder, and lap straps across the lap.
  • Avid twisting the webbing during use. Webbing must not be allowed to chafe, i.e. against sharp edges.
  • When not in use store clear of doors, seat runners, etc to avoid damage.

CARE

  • Regularly inspect restraints and replace those not in good condition i.e.
    • Restraints that have been cut, frayed, damaged or stressed through impact
    • Restraints that do not adjust or fasten correctly
  • After impact, the vehicle’s anchorages should also be checked.
  • To clean webbing use warm soap water only. Do not use chemical cleaners, bleach or dye. Contamination with petrol, grease and acid will be detrimental.
