PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Inspection Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when inspecting for “cuts, fraying,
extreme or unusual wear of the webbing, and damage to
the buckle, retractor, hardware, or other factors.” Damage
to these areas indicates that belt system replacement is
necessary.
WARNING! Replace the entire belt system
(retractor and buckle side) if replacement of
any one part is necessary. Unexposed damage
to one or more components could prevent
the system from functioning properly the next
time it is needed, which could result in severe
injury or even death.
1. Check the web wear in the system. The webbing must
be closely examined to determine if it is coming into
contact with any sharp or rough surfaces on the seat
or other parts of the cab interior. These areas are typical
places where the web will experience cutting or
abrasion. Cuts, fraying, or excessive wear would indicate
the need for replacement of the seat belt system.
CAB MAINTENANCE
2. The pillar web guide (D-loop) is the area where
almost constant movement of the seat belt webbing
occurs because of relative movement between the
seat and cab.
3. Check the Komfort-Lok Latch for cracks or possible
damage and check for proper operation.
