WEARING INSTRUCTIONS:
1) Thoroughly inspect saddle and all related equipment before each use.
2) Unbuckle the waist strap and each leg strap.
3) Place the saddle around your waist with the waist strap buckle in the front
and attach the hook and loop fastener of the Abdominal Stabilizer.
Note: Abdominal Stabilization System is for support and comfort only. Do not over
tension to increase snugness of fit!! When attaching the elastic Abdominal Stabilization
System, tighten the abdominal muscles by tightening the abdomen as if you were doing a
crunch and then secure the hook and loop fastener.
Don’t
hold your breath when you
fasten the hook and loop fastener as this will cause over-tightening. The abdominal
stabilizer can be replaced with a new stabilizer, if over-time it loses its elasticity.
4) Ensure that the work positioning D-rings are slightly forward of the hip bones. Fasten
the Quick Connect Buckle as shown in Figure 1. Visually inspect that the buckle is
secured. Do not rely on hearing the click. Look for both sides to be locked.
5) Pull equally on the free ends of the waist straps until the saddle is snug on your waist as
shown in Figure 2. Be sure not to over tighten as this can cause discomfort on your hips and waist.
6) Wrap the leg straps around the leg so that the padded portions of the leg straps are behind the leg and the
buckles are on the outside of the leg.
7) Connect the leg strap buckles as shown in Figure 1.
8) Adjust the leg straps as necessary so they are snug, but comfortable.
9) Tuck the excess leg strap into the elastic strap keeper attached to each leg pad.
ADJUSTMENT INSTRUCTIONS:
Once the saddle has been properly fitted, you can adjust the Suspension Bridge for optimum comfort.
