Vest Style Harness:

If your harness incorporates loops for a removable waist belt, the belt should be installed through the four

loops in the harness as shown in Figure 14. The hip pad, if used, is secured to the belt by passing the belt

through the hip pad loops. Don the vest style full body harness by following these steps (see Figures 14-

16B):

NOTE: Vest Style harnesses contain different harness buckle connections. See Figure 16A for the style

that applies to your harness.

Step 1. Locate back D-ring held in position by the D-ring pad; lift up harness and hold by this D-ring.

Ensure the straps are not twisted.

Step 2. Grasp the shoulder straps and slip harness onto one arm. D-ring will be located on your back side.

Ensure straps are not tangled and hang freely. Slip free arm into harness and position shoulder

straps on top of shoulder. Chest strap buckle will be positioned on front side when worn properly.

Pass excess strap through the loop keepers.

Step 3. Reach between your legs and grasp the leg strap on your left side. Bring the strap up between

your legs and connect it as shown in Figure 16A. Pull the free end of the strap away from the

buckle to make a snug t on each leg strap. To loosen the leg strap, grasp the buckle and pull

away from your leg to allow the strap to pull through the buckle. A plastic end keeper on the end

of the strap will stop it from pulling completely out of the buckle. To release the buckle. Repeat

this procedure for the right side.

Step 4. Adjust the waist belt by inserting the buckle tongue into the grommet on the left side as shown in

Figure 16A.

Step 5. Attach the chest strap by connecting the buckle. See Figure 16A. Chest strap should be six inches

down from the top of shoulders. Pass excess strap through the loop keepers. The strap may be

tightened to a snug t by pulling the free strap end to the left (away from the buckle). To loosen

the chest strap, grasp the buckle and pull away from the body to allow the strap to pull through

the buckle. A plastic end keeper on the end of the strap will stop it from pulling completely out of

the buckle.

Step 6. Adjust shoulder straps to a snug t (Figure 16B). Left and right sides of shoulder straps should

be adjusted to the same length and the chest strap should be centered on your lower chest,

six inches down from shoulder. The front D-ring on vest style harness is moved up or down by

adjusting the shoulder straps and leg straps. Center the back D-ring between shoulder blades.

Adjust leg straps to a snug t. At least three inches of webbing must extend past buckle on leg

straps. Adjust the waist belt (if present). Center retrieval D-rings (if present) on top of each

shoulder.
