2 Rigging the Razor Harness 2
Below is an easy to follow guide detailing the 10 steps to rigging and adjust-
ing your Razor Harness.
Each step has supporting pictures.
It is highly recommended that you read through the guide and look at the
accompanying pictures to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the various
parts and assembly procedures before you start to put your Razor Harness
together.
Ideally you should have your Side-Mount Instructor rig your Razor Harness
with you.
Rigging the harness is much easier with 2 people.
No one is perfectly bilaterally symmetrical and a properly fitted harness will
not be either.
The person having the harness fitted should wear it while their partner makes
adjustments in situ to get the perfect fit.
If rigging the harness by yourself a full length mirror will help you to position
everything correctly.
Ideally when you rig the harness you should do so while wearing your normal
exposure protection so that it fits snugly. If that is not practicable then
wear clothing of a similar thickness to your normal exposure protection and
make sure you leave some extra webbing for later adjustments should they
be required.
It is highly recommended that you use the T weight system with the Razor
Harness however if you are going to put weight directly on the Razor Harness
then it is advisable to work out how much weight you will need and where you
want to place it on your harness before assembling it (see Step 9: Weighting
and Trim).
