Improper fit of any lap belt can cause serious personal
injury or death.
ALWAYS make sure that the lap belt is tightly adjusted.

A lap belt in a harness or 3-point system that is too
loose will impair the performance of the system.

The lap belt must fit tightly in the bend between the

pelvic crest and the upper thigh!

Make sure belt is properly adjusted when a different

person uses the belt or each time the seat is readjusted.

(Heed WARNING on adjuster.)

• In order to get an even tighter fit of the lap belt, we

recommend that you move your seat back a little, adjust
the length of your belt as described above and move the
seat forward to its normal position. This will help to tighten
the lap belt even more. This recommendation applies only
to two door coupe models where one lap belt mounting
point is attached directly to the chassis.


b) Adjust the length of the inboard shoulder belt until both

belts exert equal pressure against the upper torso.

Use of the rear seats

Never wear the SCHROTH harnessbelt if any rear seating

position is occupied. Both front seat occupants must then

use original equipment 3-point belts. The rear seat

occupant could interact with the tail strap of the SCHROTH

harnessbelt during an accident and cause serious injury to

himself or to the wearer of the harness belt.

• As a constant reminder, the enclosed transparent sticker

must be attached to the rear side window in a prominent
place. The sticker cannot be removed without damage to
chromate tinted glass. On such vehicles, you may affix the
transparent sticker at a different, prominent location so that
it will serve as a constant reminder.



10 Stowing the belts when not in use

If you use the stock 3-point belt instead of the SCHROTH
harnessbelt, be sure to properly stow the SCHROTH harness
belt so that it is not exposed to seat tracks, liquids, sun light, or
any other area where the belt could possibly be damaged.

When not in use we recommend that you unhook all four points
and remove the entire belt for proper storage.

11 Using the Quick Fit Pro with a HANS® Device

The geometry of the Quick Fit Pro creates optimum capture of
the HANS® device and provides for the occupant the highest
level of Head and Neck restraint possible.

Always be sure your HANS® attachment points are installed
correctly in the helmet and that your device is in good working
order before using.

To use the Quick Fit Pro with a HANS® Device, be sure to
make note of the following points:

Install the belt as you would normally

Place the HANS® device on your shoulders

Carefully place the shoulder belts of the Quick Fit Pro
over the yoke of the HANS®

Be sure that the shoulder belt adjusters fall either
entirely on or entirely off the yoke of the HANS®. If
necessary, adjust the length of the tail strap to the
correct length.

Tighten lap belts and shoulder belts as you normally
would, making sure that the shoulder belts stay on the
yoke of the HANS® while doing so.

Once the belts are tight, they will stay on the HANS®
device without any further adjustments.
