3 Description and Operation
3.1.9 Occupant Restraint
System
THE KALMAR TRACTOR IS EQUIPPED WITH SEAT BELTS.
THEY SHOULD BE USED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE IS IN
OPERATION.
Seat Belt Operation
Always use seat belts whenever the vehicle is in
operation. In the event of a sudden stop or accident,
unbelted riders can be thrown about the cab or into the
windshield, resulting in serious injury or death.
The seat belt system used on Kalmar tractors is a lap-type
restraint with an automatic retractor.
Before fastening the seat belt, be sure to adjust the seat to a
comfortable driving position. To fasten the belt, pull the belt low
across the hips and insert the tongue into the buckle.
To release the seat belt, press the button on the buckle and the
belt will retract automatically.

Kalmar tractors come equipped with a variety of engines.
Kalmar provides the manufacturer's Engine Operation Manual
with each vehicle.
It is the operator's responsibility to read the Engine
Operation Manual and follow all instructions provided by
the engine manufacturer. Failure to do so can result in
injury.
Engine performance is very important to the efficient operation
of the Kalmar tractor. Failure to properly maintain and operate
any engine can lead to very costly repairs and extensive down
time. KNOW YOUR ENGINE AND MAINTAIN IT!
