Once the unit has been locked the webbing must be allowed to retract
fully before it can once again be pulled out.

from the retractor, allow a couple of inches to retract - further
extraction should not be possible.

Hold down lever on retractor to allow webbing to release/retract
as required.
To check Belts with Manually Unlocking Retractors: when
the lever is released it should not be possible to pull out the
webbing.
Belts with Emergency Locking Retractors
These must be installed & fixed at their intended design angle.
They allow freedom of movement & lock in an emergency.
