Clean with a mild detergent and damp cloth. DO NOT USE chemicals or solvents. Allow to air dry completely. All restraint systems and window nets, including webbing and hardware, should be checked for wear, fatigue and fastness regularly in any event other than normal use.

DO NOT USE THE RESTRAINT SYSTEM AGAIN AFTER AN IMPACT. EVEN IF THERE IS NO VISUAL DAMAGE.

If in doubt, return the restraint system to the Simpson factory in New Braunfels, TX for inspection. Keep the webbing and hardware free of exposure to chemicals, moisture, weather or conditions that could damage or compromise the strength of the system.

ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT RESTRAINT SYSTEMS:

Q: Why doesn’t Simpson stock belts and restraint systems?
A: Every system is made when ordered to insure a current SFI date.

Q: How often should I inspect and/or replace my belts and restraint systems?
A: You should inspect your belts and restraints before every use. Replace belts and restraints that have nicks, cuts, excessive wear, fraying and/or have been exposed to harmful chemicals or the environment. Proper restraint is a very important factor in safety. Replace any belts that experienced a crash or an event other than normal use. Do not use the restraint system again, even if it appears OK. We recommend (and some Sanctioning Bodies require) the belts to be replaced two years after the date stamped on the SFI tag. Consult your Sanctioning Body for more information.

Q: What is the advantage to “Pull up” or “Pull down” type belts?
A: What you use is a matter of personal preference and the equipment you’re using. For example, does the belt go through the seat? Will you adjust it or will someone on the crew? What hardware works best with your set up? Bolt-in, Floor Mount or Wrap Around? The “Pull up” belts are 62″ in length. The “Pull down” belts are 52″ in length.

Q: Are Simpson restraint systems DOT (Department of Transportation) approved?
A: No. Simpson restraint systems are SFI approved and dated.
