a) Tighten the lap belt first. It should be worn low and tight on
the pelvic crest and the upper thigh. The release buckle
should be located in the center in front of your body. If
necessary, lengthen the tail strap first.
b) Next adjust the shoulder belts: Make sure there is approx. 4
inches (10 cm) of loose belt protuding from each shoulder
belt adjuster.
c) Now adjust the tail strap at its adjuster so it runs in a straight
line to the back without sagging. Use the plastic slider on the
tail strap to tighten the loose end of the strap. This will
prevent the belt loosening because of vibrations while
driving.
d) One of the two shoulder belts should now be tight against
the shoulder, the other shoulder belt should be looser.
e) Tighten the looser shoulder belt until both shoulder belts
have the same pressure over the shoulders and in the chest
area.
Make sure the shoulder straps are properly adjusted whenever
the SCHROTH harnessbelt is worn. For lap belt adjustment see
following paragraph.

Putting on the belt
a)
