Wearing your Racing Harness safe
1. G ENERAL I NSTRUCTIONS
To help reduce the risk of serious injury in an accident:
• Never use the harness belt system for persons which weigh less than
40 kg (88 lbs.) or those who are less than 150 cm (4‘11“) tall,
regardless of age.
• Never strap more than one person in place with each harness belt.
• Never use the lap belt portion of the harness belt without the
shoulder belts and the anti-submarining strap (if a 5- or 6 point belt is
installed).
• All straps must permanently run through the slots of the bucket seat –
as shown in the figure below.
• Always make sure that no strap is twisted when worn.
• Always wear the lap belt portion of the harness system low and tight
across the pelvis.
• Pressure of shoulder belts on your shoulder and chest must be equal.
• Never wear the belts over heavy clothing as it can interfere with
proper positioning and adjustment of the belts, reducing the overall
effectiveness of the system.
• Never wear the belts over rigid or breakable objects in or on your
clothing, such as eye glasses, pens, jewellery, keys etc. as these may
cause injury.
• Never allow straps to rub against sharp objects.
• Never allow the belts to be damaged by becoming caught in door
or seat hardware.
Improper use of any harness belt can cause serious personal
injury or death.
