WARNING
Do not operate the engine with the
air cleaner element removed. The air
cleaner element not only filters intake
air but also stops flames if the
engine backfires. If the air cleaner
element is not installed when the
engine backfires, you could be
burned...
Sit well back in the seat.
Pick up the tongue plate and pull the
belt out slowly. Do not let it get twisted.
If the belt stops before reaching the
buckle, return the belt slightly and pull it
out more slowly.
If the belt still cannot be unlocked, let
the belt retract slightly after giving it a
strong pull, then pull it out slowly again...
