Use
3.1.1
Opening the fastener system
Fully open the fastener system.
Always pull zipper tab in direction of zipper mechanism; en-
sure that the fastener system is pulled in a straight line!
Do not use force. The chain links could become twisted!
If the zipper tab gets caught, pull it back and push it forward
again.
3.1.2
Closing the fastener system
When closing the fastener system avoid pulling the zipper
tab sideways.
Pull together the zipper mechanism using your hand. This
makes it easier to pull the zipper tab.
Make sure that no foreign objects such as shirt, jacket,
threads, etc. get caught between the links of the chain
when closing the fastener system.
Liberally grease the fastening system after every use. Only
use the grease stick supplied by Dräger.
