INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE

The seat belt like the ROLL BAR, needs to be

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.
