FIT CHECK
Thigh sleeves should be just
below the groin, not too low.
When standing upright with the suit ‘off’, the bands
should not be slack or loose, and there should not be
more than 2 inches of rope extending from the clutch.
Adjust thigh sleeves so the bands pass
over the middle of each buttock. Bands
should not be rotated too far to the
outside of the hips.
If any parts are too large or too small for
you, contact whoever gave you the suit,
or contact HeroWear for new sizes at:
HeroWearExo.com/Contact
Engage the system by pulling down on the upper portion of the Switch until it clicks.
Disengage the system by pressing the button at the bottom of the Switch. Never
disengage the suit while it is under tension.
Make sure to choose the Band strength that provides the correct amount of support
and assistance for the job without causing any movement restrictions.
The Apex exosuit does not increase strength or allow users to lift
loads that are heavier than they can typically lift. Always use good
body mechanics and safe lifting techniques when using the Apex.
The Apex exosuit is designed to be engaged while performing tasks and activities,
such as but not limited to, the following: Lifting, bending, leaning forward, stooping,
squatting, extended reaching involving bending or leaning.

You should be able to comfortably take a deep breath while the suit is
engaged and you are in a fully bent position. If you feel too restricted
while fully bent or experience soreness in your shoulders, try adjusting
the shoulder straps and/or chest strap until they are comfortable.
