Harness Storage
The harness has been made of an durable fabric to retain its shape and effectiveness through many uses and washings.
However, it is imperative that the harness be stored properly to prevent damage to the buckles. When not in use,
store the harness in a place or area that will prevent the harness from being stepped on or rolled over. The crushing
downward force of a wheel chair or cart rolling over the harness would damage the buckles, making the harness
ineffective and unsafe for further use.
