3 point seat belt installation

For your safety our retractable seat belt has an emergency locking device built into the belt for your protection, which allows you to move freely unless the vehicle stops suddenly or is involved in an accident.

Pull in a slow and smooth fashion as not to engage the automatic emergency locking mechanism. Important: All belts should be fastened to vehicle anchorage points provided by the vehicle manufacturer. If your vehicle has never had 3-point seatbelts installed, then before installing these aftermarket seat belts, special retrofitting procedures must be taken to create anchorage points.

When you use the existing threaded floor, door post, wheel well or drive shaft tunnel fittings, it is IMPORTANT that all full threads be engaged to obtain the ultimate strength of the anchorage.

Death or serious injury could occur in an accident if the seat is not designed to withstand the additional load. Avoid rough or sharp edges when choosing a belt path. Mounting 1. Mounting hardware to the floor should always have metal-to-metal contact. You should avoid carpet, plastic or any other material between the fastener components and the floor which could tend to loosen over time.

Any bolt that is not used in a threaded hole must have either a lock-nut, lock washer or apply a thread locking compound for security. When replacing belts, always use the anchorages provided by the vehicle, or safety harness manufacturer. Do not connect both ends of belt to the same, single mounting point unless by design of the auto manufacturer.

Seat Belt Use 1. Always wear your seat belt when the vehicle is in operation. Adjust and wear the lap belt portion low and snug across your hips. Each belt is intended to restrain only one person at a time. Do not put two people under one belt.

Never attempt to restrain a child in your lap using the 3-point retractable seat belt around both you and the child. The child could be severely injured or even killed in the event of a collision. Seat Belts are matched sets. Do not mix or use this belt or parts of this harness with other types of seat belts.

Use and Maintenance Instructions Print and keep this instruction sheet for future review. Inspect belt regularly. If the assembly does not work properly or you find cuts, frayed or worn webbing the belt must be replaced. More frequent inspections may be necessary if the belt is subjected to harsh treatment or extreme conditions. Whenever a vehicle is involved in a collision you must replace every part of the seat belt system; both sides of the belt including the mounting hardware!

Clean with mild soap and water. Do not bleach or re-dye as it will tend to severely weaken the webbing. Place a mark 1" straight down from the center of the lined marked at the bottom of the plate. Using a center punch, tap a dent in the center of each marked hole and also at the mark that was placed 1" below the line which was marked at the bottom of the plate.

Center punching will act as a guide by helping to keep your drill bit from moving while drilling. Next, as seen in Fig. Step 5: Insert plate and rivet into place. As seen below in Fig. Line up the pre-drilled holes with the corresponding holes on the mounting plate and hold in position. Step 6: Finishing work. Now that the new retrofitted shoulder anchor point for your 3 point seat belt is completed and in place, you can begin the task of doing the finishing work.

Making the mounting area look good again. This will be the hole in which the 3 point seat belt's shoulder bolt will be inserted. The plastic ones can usually be purchased in different colors and the metal ones can be painted to match your vehicle.

You should be able to purchase these at your local hardware store in the electrical or plumbing departments. That's it!
