  • 56H Double-sided tape (x 8)
Step 1

Pass the first belt strap (56A) through the locking buckle (56E), folding it gently in the middle (blue arrows). Join the two ends of the strap (56A) in a buckle (56F) - red arrows - so that it is 65 mm from the locking buckle (56E). Then pass the two parts of the belt strap (56A) together through an attachment plate (56G) - blue arrow, then secure the two ends of the strap with adhesives (56H) as shown below.

Step 2

First apply double-sided adhesive (56H) below the end of the strap (56A) - red arrow -, then wind it around the attachment plate (56G) and fold it over to seal it. Then fold over the other end of the strap (56A) and use double-sided adhesive to stick it to the end already attached (blue arrow).

The left belt strap is now assembled.

Step 3

Pass the second belt strap (56A) through the locking buckle (56D), folding it gently in the middle (blue arrows). Pass the two ends of the strap (56A) together through a buckle (56F) - red arrows – so that it is 65 mm from the locking buckle (56D). Then pass the two parts of the belt strap (56A) together through an attachment plate (56G) - blue arrow -, then secure the two ends of the strap with adhesives (56H) as shown below.

Step 4

First apply double-sided adhesive (56H) below the end of the strap (56A) - red arrow -, then wind it around the attachment plate (56G) and fold it over to seal it. Then fold over the other end of the strap (56A) and use double-sided adhesive to the end already attached (blue arrow). The right belt strap is now assembled.

Step 5

Pass the seatbelt (56B) through the hook buckle (56C), folding it gently in the middle (blue arrows). Bring the two ends of the seat belt (56B) together in a buckle (56F) (red arrows), keeping it 30 mm from the hook buckle (56C). 

Then pass each of the two parts of the seat belt (56B) through a buckle (56F) (blue arrows), positioning them 55 mm from the previous buckle (56F).

Step 6

Place a double-sided adhesive tape (56H) on each end of the seat belt (56B). Place the locking buckle (56D) of the right belt strap on the locking buckle (56E) of the left belt strap.

Step 7

Bring the right and left belt straps (56A) (connected by their locking buckles) over the ends of the seat belts (56B). Fold the ends of the seat belts (56B) over the right and left belt straps (56A) and secure them with the double-sided adhesives that are already present (blue arrows).
