Seat Belt (Retractable)
SMCS Code: 7327
This machine was shipped from Caterpillar with a seat
belt that was installed at the factory. The seat belt was
installed by meeting the specifications in "SAE J386,
JUN85" for a construction machine and in "SAE J386,
JUN1993". Consult your Caterpillar dealer for all
replacement parts.

Always check the condition of the seat belt and of the
mounting hardware before you operate the machine.
Regardless of appearance, replace the seat belt after
every three years of use. A date label for determining
the age of the seat belt is attached to each seat belt.
Inspect the seat belt for wear or for damage. Inspect
the webbing for wear and for fraying.
Check for a buckle that is worn or damaged. Check the
anti-creep slide that is mounted on each half of the
seat belt. Replace the seat belt, the buckle, or the
slides if the seat belt, the buckle, and the slides are
worn or damaged.
Inspect the seat belt mounting hardware. Replace any
hardware that is damaged or worn. Keep the mounting
bolts tight.
If the bolt and the nut that holds the two parts of the
seat belt mounting hooks together are not correctly
installed, the hooks can separate. The separation of
the hooks will allow the seat belt to separate from the
seat belt mounting.
Inspect the hooks on each half of the seat belt in order
to make sure that the bolt and the nut are correctly
installed.
Remove the old bolt and the old nut if the bolt and the
nut are not correctly installed. Install a new bolt and a
new nut.
