Shoulder Harness Bar Installation
Step 10. Install the Anti-Submarine Belt or
(Sub-Belt). The Sub-Belt must be anchored on
or slightly behind the chest line of the ocupant
as measured from the intersection of the chest
line and the lap belt buckle (See Fig 13).
NOTE: Minimum grade specification for
hardware used to attach the Anti-Submarine
belt are Grade 8.
IMPORTANT:
When using mounting brack-
ets (Not included) to install the Submarine
Belt, the mounting brackets must be installed
at an angle that is compatible with the direc-
tion of pull on the webbing under full load
Preferred mount is in a double shear with al-
lowance for the bolt in the bracket to pivot and
align toward the direction of the load (See Fig
14). All mounting brackets should be attached
directly to the frame or chassis of the vehicle
and installed to limit the occupants body travel
both upward and forward. Do not weld around
or near belts or belt hardware.
IMPORTANT:
After the safety harnesses
have been properly installed check to make
sure the proper restraint angles are correct.
Depending on the type of front seat being
used it may be necessary to adjust the shoul-
der harness bar to achieve the proper restraint
angle required for the Shoulder Belts. The
shoulder belt must be anchored between
0°-10° below the shoulder of the occupant
(See Fig 12). The Lap Belts must be anchored
as close to the hip as possible at an angle of
45° but no greater than 60° to the ground.
