CARRIER ADJUSTMENT
ADULT BACKPACK FITTING
NOTE:
• DO NOT adjust
carrier with
child in it.
• If sharing the
carrier between
two adults we
recommend
that you mark
a reference
point on the
backpanel
adjustment rail
for each user.
This will ease
adjustment for
each user.
B.
Loosen the shoulder straps, waistbelt and unbuckle
the sternum strap.
C.
Put the carrier on by slipping arms through shoulder
straps. Buckle waistbelt and adjust up or down so
center of buckle lies over navel. Tighten waistbelt by
pulling inward on the pieces of webbing threaded
through the Scherer Cinch (shown on page 4).
D.
Tighten the shoulder straps by pulling down on the
shoulder strap webbing. The shoulder straps
should lie smoothly over your shoulders, with the
upper end (at the backpanel attachment point)
1-2” below top of shoulder as shown in
Fig. 3
.
