8Donning and User Instructions
Adjusting the quick release belt
Open the plastic 50mm cam buckle using the toggle and thread the
50mm harness webbing belt through the plastic cam buckle. Ensure
that the webbing sits correctly in the buckle back plate, making sure
no part of the webbing is twisted which could cause the webbing to
jam in operation. Then close the buckle so that the webbing is held
tight by the buckle mechanism.
It our recommendation that the webbing tail end should not be cut/
trimmed unless it is your own specific PFD as this could cause
problems for others using the same PFD. However if the webbing
tail end is judged to be excessively long, then we would recommend
that you review the sizing of your PFD, as it is possible you might be
wearing the incorrect size. IMPORTANT: When trimming/
shortening the harness webbing tail end with either a hot knife or
similar, then you must make sure you cut/trim the webbing cleanly
without leaving any molten residue or lip which could affect its
release through the Cam Buckle. Some brands of PFD’s are fitted
with an extra-long chest harnesses which will generally increase the
need to trim the harness webbing.
