On the Car Belt Inspection
1. Check that the belt is not twisted or caught on
anything.
2. After installing an anchor, check for free movement on its retaining bolt. If necessary, remove the boltand check that the washers and other parts are not
damaged or installed improperly.
3. Check the belts for fouling, damage or discolora- tion. Clean with a shop towel if fouled.
CAUTION: Use only soap and water to clean. Dirt build-up in the metal loops of the seat belt an-
chors can cause the belts to retract slowly. Wipe
the inside of the loops with a clean cloth dampened in isopropyl alcohol.

sudden stop or impact.
5. Make sure that the belt will retract automatically when released.
