Owners Manual - Revision 1.5
Putting on the Conventional Harness:
1. Place the harness over the shoulders and hold each of the two (2) leg strap snaps snugly at each hip. If the
main lift webbing is correctly adjusted, the shoulder adapters will sit just in front of the shoulder below the
collarbone. The wearer should be able to stand erect and the container should not sit low on the back.
2. If necessary, remove the Softie to make any adjustments to the shoulder adapters and be sure to stow any
additional riser exposed during adjustment.
3. With the Softie back on your shoulders bend forward and grasp the bottom of the container; raising the
container so that it rests high on the back.
4. Reach between your legs and take hold of one of the leg straps.
5. Identify that it is either left or right. Remove any twists and fasten the leg strap v-ring adapter to the
appropriate snap. The snap should “Snap” shut. Be sure that no clothing or other obstructions are caught in
the snap.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the opposite leg strap.
7. Now stand erect and fasten the chest strap; either with the thread through buckle or with snap and adjustable
v-ring. Tighten the chest strap but not so much as to distort the main lift webbing. Stow any free-end excess
in the elastic band.
8. Reach down and grasp both leg strap free ends and tighten the leg straps. Stow any excess leg strap free-
end in the elastic keeper. Snug while standing erect is sufficient. When you sit down in the aircraft the
harness will now feel loose and comfortable.
Putting on the “A” Harness:
1. Place the harness over your shoulders and hold each of the leg strap loops at each hip. If the main lift
webbing is adjusted correctly, the shoulder adapters will sit in front of your shoulder just under the collarbone.
2. If necessary, remove the Softie to make any adjustment to the shoulder adapters.. To make the main lift
web longer - pull abut 1” of the riser webbing out of the riser protector (velcro) flap and extend it thru the
shoulder adapters. To make the main lift web shorter - run the main lift webbing up thru the shoulder adapters
and stow the excess in the riser protector (velco) flaps.
3. With the Softie back on your shoulders bend forward and grasp the
bottom of the container, raising the container so that it rests high on the
back.
4. Reach between your legs and take hold of the left leg strap, remove
any twists.
5. Bring the left leg strap between your legs and thread it thru the loop
on your left hip (inside to out), then continue across your chest to the
snap on the right side of your chest.
6 Repeat steps 4 & 5 with the right leg strap. The harness configuration
should look as it does in figure 2.2
.
7. Stand erect and tighten the harness by pulling on the ends of the
harness webbing. Stow any excess webbing in the elastic keepers.
8. When you sit down the harness will feel much looser due to the
geometry of the “A” harness. When seated in the aircraft snug up the
harness and restow the excess webbing.
