25  INSTALL SEAT.

Loop the webbing attached to the seat back around the

top of #4 crossrib. Attach buckle and make any adjustments.
Slider buckles attached to webbing at the side of the seat
gives the paddler additional fitting adjustments.

The long pieces of webbing attached to the front of the

seat bottom are looped around the base of the #3 crossrib

and secured with buckle. Do not cinch these too tight;

allow some slack for shifting the seat.
