Installing the back protector

To install the back protector in the Genie Lite harness, first open the under seat pocket.  Inside is a 

zippered compartment to hold the back protector in the optimum position.  Open the zipper and insert the 
back protector with the narrow end first.  Help guide the back protector into the proper position making 
sure that the narrow top piece properly sits between the back support and the rescue container.  The back 
protector should fit snuggly into the container.  Once you are sure the protector is installed correctly, 
close the protector compartment, followed by the under seat pocket.
