of the harness to take up any slack.

following steps apply to both the flame resistant and corrosion resis-

front of the wearer and the air supply cylinder is next to the left
foot. Pass the shoulder strap over the left shoulder and head onto
the right shoulder. Draw the waist belt around the waist with the
air supply cylinder at the left hip and engage the waist belt buckle.
