Lap Safety Belt Retractor Test - 2-Point System, Rear

Grasp the new lap safety belt tongue and pull the webbing out of the retractor until the manufacturer's label is exposed. Return approximately 127 mm (5 inches) of webbing into the retractor and pull. If the retractor locks, the lap safety belt assembly is functioning properly. If the retractor does not lock or the webbing cannot be pulled from the retractor far enough to expose the manufacturer's identification label, re-work the sheet metal surface in the lap safety belt retractor attaching area until the retractor will function properly.

NOTE: If the retractor of a new lap safety belt assembly has been bolted into a damaged or distorted mounting area, the new retractor could be warped and may not function. If this is the case, reshape the sheet metal and install another new complete lap safety belt assembly.
