note:
This final threading step is done when the harness
is secured to the cylinder (refer to Securing Single Cylinder
Step: 2). Close the buckle half way to prevent the webbing
from slipping and thread the free end of the band through
the open slot in the end of the buckle.
note:
Harness cylinder bands adjust for all standard cylinder
diameters: 6.9” (17.5 cm), 7.25” (18.5 cm), and 8.0” (20.3 cm).
The cylinder bands are properly threaded to the buckles when
the harness leaves the factory. If rethreading is necessary, follow
the procedure in this section.
