PART III
ADJUSTING THE PARACHUTE (HARNESS):
As people differ by height, weight, and posture, the SK-94 parachute
harness has been equipped with the size adjustment features. Below you
can find some general hints as to how to adjust your harness
correctly.
1.
First, loosen the main harness straps so that the number of
adjustment seams on either side is the same.
2.
Loosen the calf, breast, and container straps.
3.
Put the parachute on.
4.
Close the breast strap and both calf straps.
5.
Straighten yourself.
6.
Pull the breast strap tight so that the parachute is pressed
comfortably to your body. The breast strap should not be too lose
but it should also not pull the shoulder part of the container
together.
Roll the loose end of the strap and place it under the rubber band.
7.
Pull the calf straps tight avoiding over tightening. With their
tension correct you should be able to put your palm under either of
them.
Roll the loose end of the strap and place it under the rubber band.
8.
Adjust the length of the vertical straps so that the breast strap
rests slightly over your breast and the adjustment buckles of the
vertical straps are at your waist level.
