Step 4
Pull the excess webbing back through the slot in the tail piece of the Back Pad.
Once through the tail piece align the Long “D” Piece and fasten it back to itself by
using the snap fasteners (if needed) as shown.
Waist Strap Attachment Instructions
Step 1
Once the “D” Piece is threaded together, begin attachment of the waist
straps. Determine your desired right or left handed connection for the waist
strap Buckle. For a right handed user, attach the Waist Strap w/ male
buckle (A1) to the Long “D” Piece strap (A) and the Waist Strap w female
buckle (B1) to the Short “D” Piece strap (B). For a left handed user, attach
in reverse order; (A1) to the Short “D” Piece strap and (B1) to the Long “D” Piece
strap.
Step 2
Connect waist straps as follows: Lie the Back Pad (C) inside down on a flat surface (as
shown in step 1). Orient each of the Waist Straps so that the folded & stitched tab of the
Quick Connect Waist Strap Buckle is facing down (tab towards the user when wearing).
Insert the Waist Strap Adjustment Buckle underneath the web loop at the wing end of Back
Pad.
Angle the smaller of the two Waist Strap Adjustment Buckles and insert it through the backside
of the larger Waist Strap Adjustment Buckle.
Pass the smaller buckle completely through the larger buckle so the smaller is lying flat on top
of the larger.
Note:
Be sure curves of Waist Adjustment Buckles both slope down when connected.
This creates the 2 to 1 ratio waist tensioning system. Repeat these steps for the opposite
side of the waist strap.
Note:
Ensure that both sides of quick connect buckle line up properly before waist assembly
is secured and tensioned.
