3. Loosen the hip belt webbing, then release the
hip belt buckle.

CHAPTER 5:
TURNING EVO ON AND OFF
Each EVO arm has an ON / OFF switch (with tether) located on the actuator housing. Moving the switch to the ON
position activates the spring support of the actuator. Take care if activating the switch while the EVO is not being worn,
as the arm can raise up in an uncontrolled manner.
Turning EVO On
To turn EVO on, the operator must keep their arm fully down by their
side. The switch on the actuator can then be flipped to the ON position.
Do this for both arms before starting to use EVO.
Turning EVO Off
To turn EVO off, the operator must lower their arm fully to their side.
The switch on the actuator can then be flipped to the OFF position. Do
this for both arms before doffing EVO.
