Care and Maintenance
Inspection
· Inspect the harness belt thoroughly for damage before each use.
· Make sure that the inspection of the belt is included with regular check-ups of the race car and its equipment.
· Regularly check correct torque of bolts.
· Check for expiration date of the racing harness as it applies to the regulation of your sanctioning body and/or the FIA, SFI or NASCAR tag, prior to each use.
· Do not dry the belt in the sun or near a radiator, in a clothes dryer or with a hair dryer or with any other mechanical or electrical heating device. Heating webbing may make the material shrink and the precisely designed elongation rate will be changed.
· Always allows a cleaned belt to air dry naturally.
· Always have damaged sub-assemblies of the harness belt replaced before using the harness belt again.
· Never modify, disassemble or repair the belt by yourself.
Accident
· Any harness belt which was used during an accident is unfit for further use and must be replaced.
· Never continue to use a harness belt which was in use during an accident. Replace it immediately.
· In SCHROTH Profi asm® models a partly or fully ripped open SCHROTH asm® system indicates the need of immediate replacement of the racing harness.
· FIA and other sanctioning bodies require that inspectors cut the racing harness, or cut the labels off the racing harness, after an accident.
· Always inspect all anchorages for damages such as deformations or cracks, after an accident.
· Strictly follow the recommendations of the vehicle or roll cage manufacturer if a repair should be necessary.
