MAKING SUSPENSION SYSTEM ADJUSTMENTS
1. Lay the pack down with the shoulder straps facing up.
2. The back padding is made in 2 sections which meet just above the waist belt. At the point
where they meet, lift the bottom part of the upper section and separate the hook and loop
fasteners.
3. There are two small straps attached to the lower section of the back padding, one on each
side, which secure it to the frame. Reach behind the hard plastic frame and pull on the loops
to separate these straps from the frame.
4. Fold down the bottom section of the back padding.
5. Either tighten or loosen the exposed yoke adjustment strap to move the shoulder yoke up
or down. You may need to also loosen the upper and lower shoulder yoke straps in order to
move the shoulder yoke.
6. Once the shoulder yoke is adjusted to the desired height, tighten the yoke adjustment strap
to prevent movement of the shoulder yoke.
7. Fold up the bottom section of back padding.
8. Tuck the hook and loops under the upper section fitting the upper and lower sections snuggly
together, and press to secure the hook and loop together.
9. Tuck the loops on each side of the lower section behind the hard plastic frame, pressing to
secure the hook and loop together.
ADJUSTMENT STEPS:
• With all straps loosened, begin fitting by securing the waist-belt snuggly, so that approximately
75% of the weight rests comfortably on the hips.
• Next, tighten the lower shoulder yoke straps to distribute the remaining weight comfortably on
the shoulders.
• Finally, tighten the upper shoulder yoke straps to draw the mainframe towards the shoulder blades.
INCORRECT
Shoulder yoke is level with
or above top of shoulders.
Note slack in strap behind
shoulders. Frame should be
shortened.
