4. INSPECTION,
POINTS TO VERIFY
INSPECTION
User safety depends on equipment integrity.
Equipment should be thoroughly inspected
prior to being placed into service and before
and after each use. In addition, a detailed
periodic inspection, by a competent person, is
required at least every 12 months (depending
on current local regulations, and your
conditions of usage). Follow the inspection
procedures available at cmcpro.com. Record
and store the results of the inspection in the
inspection checklist. If the harness system fails
inspection, it should be taken out of service
and marked accordingly or destroyed to
prevent further use.
LIFESPAN / RETIREMENT
The equipment has a lifespan of 10 years
from the date of manufacture shown on the

of the operating conditions, level of use, and
environmental conditions. Protect from sharp
edges,opename,extremetemperatures,
UV rays, chemicals, oils, moisture, and
mechanical stress. A fall load or other
exceptional event can lead to retirement after
a single use. Any concerns about its safe use
is cause for retirement. If the harness shall be
retired, it should be taken out of service and
marked accordingly or destroyed to prevent
further use.
The device must be retired when:
• It has reached the 10 year age limit

doubts about its reliability
• It has an uncertain usage history
• When it becomes obsolete due to changes
in legislation, standards, technique or
compatibility.
BEFORE EACH USE

ing structural stitching.
• Inspect webbing for damage and hardware
for cracks.
• Verify that the adjustment buckles are
threaded correctly and function properly.
• Conrmproductlabelingislegible.
• Carry out a suspension test in a safe
place to ensure that the harness is the
correctsize,hassu󰀩cientadjustment,and
is of an acceptable comfort level for the
intended use.
DURING USE
Continually:
• Monitor the condition of the harness, and
position of the adjustable buckles making
sure they remain securely fastened.
• Check the condition of attachment points
and the connections to other equipment in
the system.
• Evaluate environmental conditions. Damp
or icy environments can alter equipment
behavior.

6. HARNESS DONNING
AND FITTING
DONNING THE WAIST BELT
• Attach the Waist Belt in the same manner as a
normalbelt.Itissizedtotinsidemostbeltloops
which is a convenient option but not necessary for
the function of the harness.
ADDING THE LEG LOOPS
• To add the leg loops and create a Type C sit-har-
ness, rotate the Waist Belt until the Waist Belt
Connection Loop is centered in the front.
• Take the Leg Loop Assembly and align it such that
the Ventral D-Ring is closest to the body and the
Leg Loop Girth Hitch is facing away from the body.
• Pass the Ventral D-Ring upward in-between the
Waist Belt Connection Loop and the Waist Belt.
• After the Ventral D-Ring has been passed through
the Waist Belt Connection Loop, grab the Leg Loop
Girth Hitch and pass it over the Ventral D-Ring,
securing it to the Waist Belt.
• Attach the Leg Loops by passing the opened loop
in-between and around each leg and closing the
quick connect buckle.
• Adjustthebucklessothatthelegloopstsnugly
around each leg while still allowing a hand to be
inserted between the leg and the leg loop.
• Ensure the leg loop padding is positioned so that
it covers the inside of the thigh and wraps around
the outermost part of the leg.
ADDING THE TYPE D CHEST HARNESS
• To attach the Type-D Chest Harness, don the
harness by pulling it over the head and passing the
arms through.
• The Sternal Attachment Point should be centered
on the chest.
• Adjustthetofthechestharnessbyholdingthe
vertical chest strap on one side, and pulling on the
tail end of the chest strap on the opposite side until
the harness is comfortably snug around the chest.
Ifthetistootight,simplylifttheCobrabuckleto
loosen the web.
• Take the webbing end of the front lift and pass it
down through the narrow slot in the Ventral D-Ring
and back through the Ventral D-Ring as shown.
• Thread the webbing end through the Cobra
connector and secure the tail with the elastic
Velcro keeper.
• Note: If the optional chest ascender is installed on
the Front Lift, the installation process for the Chest
Harness remains the same.
WARNING: Never us the Type D Chest Harness
without the previously described, proper connec-
tion to the Type C Site Harness. Failure to follow
these instructions may endanger life.
USE OF DIFFERENT BUCKLE TYPES
• Toloosenadjusterbuckles,ipthemup.Toclose,
pull the outbound webbing.
• On quick connect buckles, ensure both wings
snap in place.
Regularly check all closures and adjusting elements
7. OPTIONAL
COMPONENTS
INSTALLATION OF THE OUTBACK™ POUCH
(OPTIONAL)
• The Outback™ Pouch can be attached to the
Waistbelt or any compatible Molle panel.
• Thread the Velcro straps around and behind
the belt or Molle Strap, pass it underneath the
horizontal webbing and fasten to the hook-side
Velcro on the Pouch.
• It may be convenient to position the pouch
upside down with the front panel facing the user
and above the waistbelt when attaching it while
wearing the waistbelt. After fastening the straps as
explained above, the pouch will rotate into proper
carrying position.
INSTALLATION OF THE LEG LOOP REAR
STRAP (OPTIONAL)
The Leg Loop Rear Strap is an optional component
that is designed to hold the leg loops in position. This
strap connects the rear of the leg loops to the belt.
To connect the Leg Loop Rear Strap:
• Insert each lower buckle into the webbing loops
provided on the backside of the leg loops.
• Pass the upper portion of the assembly behind
the waist belt, fold the buckle over and down, and
connect it back to the lower loop to create a con-
nection with the waist belt. Note: the upper loop of
this component is designed to accept the buckle
from the optional Chest Harness Rear Strap.
INSTALLATION OF THE CHEST HARNESS
REAR STRAP (OPTIONAL)
The Chest Harness Rear Strap is an optional
component that can be used to provide a connection
between the rear of the chest harness and the
waistbelt. This strap helps position the chest harness
and keep it from riding up into the user’s neck, es-
pecially when hiking with the harness. When not in
use, it can be stowed in the rear pocket of the chest
harness. To deploy, simply pull it down and extend
it for installation.
To connect the Chest Harness Rear Strap:
Option 1: If the Leg Loop Rear Strap is not installed,
pass the Chest Harness Rear Strap under the rear
of the waistbelt and hook the buckle back on itself to
form a loop around the waistbelt.
Option 2: If the Leg Loop Rear Strap is installed,
connect the Chest Harness Rear Strap to the upper
loop of the Leg Loop Rear Strap.
Adjust the length of the strap to the desired position.
INSTALLATION OF THE CHEST ASCENDER
(OPTIONAL)
The Front Lift is designed to accommodate a Kong
Futura™ Chest Ascender which is attached to the
harness with a 5mm Maillon Rapide Stainless Steel
tri-link connector. The front lift is designed to work
with or without this optional gear and the presence
of this component does not change the way the
harness is connected to the sit harness.
Required materials:
CMC Outback™ Chest Ascender Kit P/N 343020
• Kong Futura™ Chest Ascender
• Maillon Rapide Stainless Steel Delta Quick Link
(1/4”)
• Atom™ Ascender Strap
Required tools:

sit harness.
• Run the chest ascender strap loop over the
front lift.
• Pushthesti󰀨enedendofthechestascender
strap through the top hole of the chest ascender
and through the lower central eye of the sternal
rigging plate.
• Pushthesti󰀨enedendunderthetopstrap,over
and back under the bottom strap, and then pass it
under the chest ascender loop itself.
• Install the Delta Quick Link into the loop on the
front lift in a way that the threaded barrel is on the
user’s left side when wearing the harness.
• Tighten the Delta Quick Link with a 7/16” wrench to
a quarter turn beyond hand tightness.
8. TIE-IN POINTS /
CONNECTIONS
SIT HARNESS CONNECTION POINT
Type C Sit Harness: use only the Ventral D-Ring
(highlighted in red) to connect the harness.
WARNING:
• The leg loop assembly must be connected to the
waist belt exactly as shown in this manual to form
a secure tie-in point.
• The Waist Belt Connect Loop (Item 3 in Section 3)
is intended to accept the leg loop assembly with
the rated ventral D-ring per the donning instruc-
tions and is not a rated connection point by itself.
FULL BODY HARNESS
Whenconguredasafullbodyharness,useeither
the Ventral D-Ring or the large eye of the Sternal
Attachment as tie-in points to connect the harness to
a system. (Highlighted in red).
WARNING:
• The connections between the leg loop assembly,
waistbeltandchestharnessmustbecongured
exactly as shown in this manual to form secure
tie-in points.
• Do not use the chest harness alone, it is only
safe to use when connected to the sit harness
assembly.
• The chest ascender and tri-link are only designed
to aid in ascending a rope and are not rated
connection points.
CONNECTING COMPONENTS
Tying In: always verify the knot has been tied cor-
rectly before starting to climb or suspending yourself
in the harness.
To install a belay or rappel system, connect to the
ventral attachment point using a locking carabiner.
Ensure that the carabiner is fully closed and locked
before climbing or suspending in the harness. Take
care to ensure that the carabiner is oriented in a way
that it is loaded along the major axis.
