Husqvarna HUV 5420 DX - Manual (Page 19)

Roll-Over Protective Structure and Seat Belts
WARNING
• The ROPS must be properly installed before operating the vehicle. Husqvarna strongly urges that the
vehicle’s occupants be properly restrained at all times with the seat belts provided.
Pregnant woman: Consult your doctor for specific recommendations. The seat belt should be worn securely and
as low as possible over the hips and not on the waist.
Injured person: Depending on the injury, first check with your doctor for specific recommendations.
To secure the seat belt, sit up straight and well back in the seat. Pull the seat belt out of the retractor and insert the
tab into the buckle. A click will be heard when the tab locks into the buckle. Position the lap belt as low as possible
on the hips – not on the waist.
The retractor will lock the belt during a sudden stop. It also may lock if the occupant leans forward too quickly. A slow,
easy motion will allow the belt to extend, and the occupant can move freely. If the seat belt cannot be pulled out of the
retractor, firmly pull the belt and release it. It should then pull smoothly out of the retractor.
To release the seat belt, press the buckle release button (1) and allow the belt to retract (Figure 9). If the belt does not
retract smoothly, pull it out and check for kinks or twists. Then make sure it remains free of twists as it retracts.

WARNING
• Do not operate the vehicle with the ROPS removed. Doing so could result in property damage,
personal injury, or death.
• Do not remove or modify any component of the ROPS structure. Doing so will result in voiding the
ROPS certification and could weaken the ROPS, resulting in serious injury or death.
• Do not operate the vehicle if the ROPS is damaged. If the ROPS is damaged, replace the structure.
Do not attempt repair.
• The driver and passenger must be restrained at all times with the seat belts provided to help prevent
injury in the event of sudden braking, collision, or roll-over.
