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.

CARE and MAINTENANCE
1 Inspection
Check the safety belt once a month for any damage. Cuts, tears
and other damage to the belt will greatly reduce its
effectiveness. Replace the belt or damaged parts immediately
with original Spare Parts (see page
37
, Spare Parts). Never use
a damaged harness belt, use the standard 3-point belts which
remain available for use.
Make sure the buckles are free of any obstruction and lock
securely.
Modified belts or such belts that have been resewn are not
strong enough and are dangerous in an accident.
Never modify, disassemble or repair the belts yourself.
For parts that can be replaced, use only original SCHROTH
Spare Parts.
Only original SCHROTH Accessories may be used with the
harness belt system.
Use of non-authorized parts and Accessories can reduce
the effectiveness of the harness belt system.
• Any changes made to the belt will automatically void the
warranty.
Never use any restraint system that does not function
properly. If questions arise, immediately contact your
importer or the manufacturer!
