Donning the Harness:
•
Disconnect the chest strap, one side of bridge piece (if attached), waist strap, and leg strap buckles
•
Don the harness like a vest (Fig. 20) and connect the chest strap (Fig. 21).
•
Position the lumbar pad of the body into the small of the back (Fig. 22) and connect the waist strap by placing the billet
end of the waist strap through the buckle frame and tighten the waist strap firmly around your waist by pulling outward
and away from your body. Connect the tongue buckle and secure the excess waist strap in the waist strap keeper
(Fig. 23). Once properly connected the waist strap should appear as shown in Fig. 24.
Leg Pad Connection:
The leg pads and straps will be hanging down behind you. Pull the leg straps between your legs and connect to the
connection buckle on the other end of the strap (Fig. 25). and adjust the leg straps so they are snug, leaving enough
room to fit two fingers between the strap and the leg. Note: Turning the buckle perpendicular to the webbing aids in
adjustment. (See Fig. 26 for details of Quick Connect Buckles)
Weaving the Quick Connect Buckle:
If your harness is equipped with Quick Connect Buckles and the tab end of the
Quick Connect Buckle has been removed from the harness weave the webbing
through the Quick Connect Buckle as shown in Fig. 27 (under the slide bar and
up through the front slot, then over the slide bar and down through the rear slot).
Suspension Bridge Connection:
•
Locate the suspension bridge (Fig. 28) connected on one side of the batten seat (Fig. 29).
•
Connect the interlocking buckle of the suspension bridge with the corresponding buckle attached to the batten seat
(Fig. 30
–
32). Ensure there are no twists in the bridge piece and suspension D-ring is facing out (Fig. 32).
