Adjusting the belt
For best protection, belts should fit snugly
across lap and chest. If belt has t o o much
slack, pull shoulder section in direction of
arrow to make sure the belt is drawn snug
around your hips.
Make sure the shoulder belt does not press
against solid or fragile items, such as ball
point pens, pipe, lighter or glasses.
Do not wear the belts loosely.
Do not strap in more than one person with
each belt.
