Checking the Harness Height
1.
Place the user in the Positioning Restraint System and properly
secure with the harness.
2.
Note the position of the harness relative to the shoulder of the user.
Harness straps should be inserted in the nearest slot at or above
the user’s shoulder.
If the harness height is correct, the restraint can be used with no
further adjustment.
If the height of the user’s shoulder is above the harness it will be
necessary to adjust the harness. See
Adjusting the Harness
Height
.
Adjusting the Harness Height
1.
To adjust the harness, it is necessary to
remove the Positioning Restraint System
from the vehicle.
2.
Place the user in the restraint and identify
the closest harness slot at or above the
height of the user’s shoulder.
3.
Remove the user from the restraint prior to
making any adjustments to the harness.
4.
Locate the metal bracket securing the top of the harness along the
back side of the restraint and pull it away to expose 3"- 4" (76.2 —
101.6 mm) of webbing.
5.
Turn the metal bracket so the short side will fit through the slot in
the back of the restraint and push it through the slot as well as the
cover.
6.
Reposition the harness to the correct slot and reverse the process
to reinstall the harness.
7. After repositioning the harness, make sure the metal bracket is flat
against the back of the restraint to prevent it from slipping out.
Adjusting the Harness Fit
1. With the user in the restraint, check the location of the buckle.
2. The buckle should be positioned at the level of the user’s hips, not
over the stomach area.
3. If necessary, the position of the buckle can be changed by adjusting
the metal bracket on the bottom of the restraint.
