Locked Retractors
Locked Instructions
It is easy to release the retractor by following the instructions provided with each belt. The notes below are to help advise customers and reduce returns.
Ensure that the retractor is perfectly upright (with the webbing coming out at the top) and REMAINS IN THIS POSITION THROUGHOUT THIS OPERATION. This can be done in the vehicle or another convenient position i.e. against a wall.
Rotate cap 'A' and button 'B' in the direction indicated until both are pointing as vertical (upright) as possible.
With your thumb and fingers slowly, but firmly, wind an extra inch of the webbing onto the reel.
Slowly, but firmly, pull the webbing out of the reel. This must be done smoothly to avoid locking the reel.
Repeat if the retractor is not released at the first attempt.
