ADULT BACKPACK FITTING
NOTE:
• Adult Backpack
Fitting is done
without child in
carrier
.
• If sharing the
carrier between
two adults we
recommend that
you mark a
reference point
on the suspen-
sion track
torso adjustment
rail for each
user. This will
ease adjustment
for each user
.
B.
Without the child in the carrier, loosen the shoulder
straps, load-lifter straps, sternum strap and
waist belt.
C.
Put the carrier on by slipping arms through
shoulder straps. Buckle waist belt and adjust up
or down so center of buckle lies over navel.
Tighten waist belt by pulling inward on the pieces
of webbing threaded through the Scherer Cinch.
D.
Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling down on the
shoulder strap webbing. The shoulder straps
should lie smoothly over your shoulders, with the
upper end (at attachment point) 1-2” below top of
shoulder. If the shoulder staps do not fit properly
adjust the Suspension Track Torso system: pull on
the red adjustment cord and move the system up or
down to the desired location
(Fig. 2).
Release the
adjustment cord. Make sure adjustment system is
properly engaged by pushing up and down on the
shoulder pad.

When fitting is complete, remove carrier
