& Seatbelt Maintenance s01ae07
To clean the seatbelts , use a mild soap and lukewarm water . Never bleach or dye the belts because this could seriously affect their strength .
Inspect the seatbelts and attachments including the webbing and all hardware periodically for cracks , cuts , gashes , tears , damage , loose bolts or worn areas . Replace the seatbelts even if only minor damage is found .
CAUTION
. Keep the belts free of polishes , oils , chemicals and particularly battery acid .
. Never attempt to make modifications or changes that will prevent the seatbelt from operating properly .
