Harness Adjustments and Fitting
The
Telesis 2
, as a training system, is designed with 5 points of
adjustment. They are the chest strap, both leg straps, and the two main lift
webs. The main lift webs normally have 3 positions of adjustments but may
have more or less. The main lift web is designed with a positioning method
called the
Adjust-A-Tongue
system. (
Figure 1
) This system allows easy
adjustment of the main lift web with fixed locators that ensure harness
symmetry and secure the harness ends. This concept is unique to the
Telesis
2
.
Your
Telesis 2
may have leg pad extensions to vary the length of the
lower leg pad. This allows the leg pad to be tightened properly on those
people with small thighs. Large individuals can use the same rig by extending
the pad for better comfort.
When adjusting the
Telesis 2
main lift web for the individual who will
use it, the adjustments are done BEFORE putting the rig on the jumper.
Open the harness covers (
Figure 37
) and adjust the length of the main lift
web using the preset adjustments. The main lift web adjustments on the
Telesis 2
normally come in three positions - SMALL, MEDIUM, and
LARGE. The first two positions are marked on the Adjust-A-Tongue pocket
with a large S or M. The top position or Small pocket is color coded
YELLOW and the middle or Medium pocket is color coded RED. The
Large position for the main lift web is with the adjustment out as far as
possible with the stop against the main lift web adjuster. (
Figure 38
) In this
position the free end of the main lift web is stowed in the elastic keeper.
Once the
Telesis 2
is adjusted to fit the jumper, put it on them, fasten the
chest strap, and tighten the leg straps to take the slack out, BUT NOT
TIGHT. Slide the floating pad or leg pad extension into position and finish
tightening the leg strap. Now check the fit of the
Telesis 2
to ensure that the
jumper can reach all the operating handles and that the rig is not too slack and will not move around
excessively.
