Seat Removal

To remove the driver’s seat, lift up on the rear of the seat and rotate the seat base up and forward.

To put the passenger seat into the upright position, lift up on the front of the seat and raise it to the upright position.

Seat Belts

This vehicle is equipped with three-point lap and diagonal seat belts for the operator and passengers. Always make sure the seat belts are secured for all riders before operating. This vehicle is equipped with an Operator Presence Control system that will sound a beeper if the ignition is on, the park brake is off, and the seat belts are not fastened.

WARNING

Falling from a moving vehicle could result in serious injury or death. Always fasten your seat belt securely before operating or riding in the vehicle.

To wear the seat belt properly, follow this procedure:

For 3-point belts, pull the seat belt latch downward and across your chest toward the buckle at the inner edge of the seat. The belt should fit snugly across your hips and diagonally across your chest. Make sure the belt is not twisted.
Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks.
Release the strap, it will self-tighten.
To release the seat belt, press the square red button in the buckle’s center.

Seat Belt Inspection

Inspect all seat belts for proper operation before each use of the vehicle.

Push the latch plate into the buckle until it clicks. The latch plate must slide smoothly into the buckle. A click indicates that it's securely latched.
Push the red release latch in the middle of the buckle to make sure it releases freely.
Pull each seat belt completely out and inspect the full length for any damage, including cuts, wear, fraying or stiffness. If any damage is found, or if the seat belt does not operate properly, have the seat belt system checked and/or replaced by an authorized dealer.
To clean dirt or debris from the seat belts, sponge the straps with mild soap and water. Do not use bleach, dye or household detergents. Rinse the entire length of the belt webbing. Use a garden hose to flush out the retractor and latch housings regularly.

Seat and Storage Compartments

The electrical compartment is located under the center seat. Never use this area for storage. A storage bin is located under the passenger seat. To access this storage area, lift up on the front of the passenger seat and raise it to the upright position. Remove the storage bin to access the battery.

Always make sure all seats are properly installed before operating. Push down firmly on the rear of each seat until the latch pins are fully seated into the grommets.

Seat Adjustments

The driver’s seat is equipped with an adjustment lever and adjustment crank for optimal spacing.

Pull the adjustment lever to the left to move the seat forward or rearward. Once released, the lever will lock into place.
Rotate the adjustment crank to move the seat forward and upward or rearward and downward.

To adjust the front passenger seat, loosen (do not remove) the four screws located on the seat bottom. Slide the seat forward or rearward to the desired position. Tighten the screws to 5.4 Nm. (4 ft. lbs.) Do not overtighten.
