This manual contains important information about installation and use of
your new harness belt. Read this manual thoroughly and understand

instructions represent state-of-the-art knowledge at the time of issuance
of this manual, the date of which is set forth on its cover. All instructions
are in accordance with current FIA, NASCAR, CART, SCCA and other
sanctioning body regulations, as individually indicated in the text.
Deviating from these instructions may result in rejection from

notice and may not be incorporated into these instructions at the date
