84 Additional Safety Features

Important Facts About Safety Belts in Heavy Trucks

The high mileage associated with heavy

trucks, the continual relative movement of

the seat with the cab, the possible contact

with the vehicle seat or other parts of the

cab structure, and the potential exposure

of this safety belt to severe environmental

conditions make it crucial to inspect the seat

belt system regularly. It is recommended

that the system is inspected every 15,000

miles (24,000 km) or more often if the

vehicle is exposed to severe environmental

or vocational conditions. Any safety belt

system that shows cuts, fraying, extreme

or unusual wear, significant discolorations

due to ultra-violet ray exposure, dusty-dirty

conditions, abrasion to the safety belt

webbing or damage to the buckle, latch plate,

retractor, hardware or any other obvious

problem should be replaced immediately,

regardless of the mileage.

Once replacement of the safety belt has

been determined necessary, be certain that

it is replaced only with a Volvo original

replacement safety belt. See your authorized

Volvo Truck dealer for replacement. Your

Volvo safety belt system has been developed

and tested specifically for heavy trucks.

Replace it only with the exact same design

that the vehicle was equipped with.

If the inspection indicates that any other

part of the safety belt system requires

replacement, the entire belt system must be

replaced. An installation guide is attached

to every replacement system, entitled

“Three-Point Safety Belt Installation Guide.”

There are separate safety belt instruction

guides for suspension and stationary seats.

Use the proper guide for your type of seat

and follow the instructions very closely. It

is vitally important that all components are

mounted back in the same positions as the

original components that were removed.

This will maintain the design integrity of the

mounting points for the safety belt assembly.
