SECTION 7: ELECTROFISHING SAFETY (CONT.)
QUICK RELEASE SYSTEM
It may be necessary in some circumstances to remove the electrofisher backpack quickly.
The LR-24 has an integral quick release pack frame. Just press the latch tabs on the waist
belt and shoulder straps and the entire LR-24 falls away.
The following procedure illustrates how the quick
release system is designed to work:
1. Squeeze the release tabs on hip belt buckle to
remove hip belt.
2. Squeeze the release tabs on either shoulder
strap.
3. With strap detached, shrug off opposite strap.
4. This will allow the pack to fall away from you
very quickly!
Move away from pack as it falls.
CAUTION:
Always unlatch
the chest strap
of the pack before entering or crossing
water. If left latched this strap may prevent
the user from quickly removing the LR-24 in
the event of an emergency, such as falling into
deep water. This should only be done in an
emergency situation! The backpack may be
damaged from contact with the ground and/or
water when using the quick release system.
