4. . Adjusting the Webbing
To Tighten Straps

the webbing straps.

‘Press to Release Buckle’
Code: M27
A simple press to release buckle
which can be used by the passenger.
‘Steel Safety Buckle’
Code: M27SB
When fitted to our harnesses as an alternative to
the standard ‘quick release’ buckle.
It helps prevent those passengers with inquisitive
fingers, challenging behaviour or learning
difficulties from releasing the harness buckle.
M27 can be used
on an aircraft seat.
(however, you should check
with your airline in advance)

1. How to Use:
The M27 harness can be used on a single type bus seat, with some high-
backed booster seats which have a height-adjustable headrest, these extend
to grow with the child.
Some of our customers have found that they work very well together
for those who require postural support or extra security.
How to fit:
1. Holding the two Aluminium Bar Buckles [b]
(attached to one side of the Horizontal Fixing
Straps) place the back pad of the harness against
the front of the seat back & place the Fixing
Straps horizontally around the seat back.
2. Pass the tail-ends of both top and bottom
Horizontal Fixing Straps [a] around the seat back.
3. Now feed the tail-ends of the Fixing straps
through the Aluminium Bar Buckles (see fig.1) &
pull to tighten around the seat back as securely
as possible. Each tail end should then be passed
through the Tri-glide [c] to prevent the Fixing
Straps from loosening during transit.
4. Position the Back Pad & Body Harness on the
seat so that the waist belt will be in line with the
waist when the passenger sits down.
5. With the harness unfastened at the waist belt sit
the passenger on the under-strap in the most
upright position possible & bring their arms
through the shoulder straps.
6. Now bring the under-strap [f] up between the legs
and loop it back onto the waist belt over the
buckle [h].
7. Connect the waist belt buckle to fasten the
harness. Position the buckle centrally at waist
level on the passenger.
8. Adjust all straps to fit tightly yet comfortably by
pulling the tail-ends of strapping through the
Adjuster Buckles [i].
9. Ensure that the three Comfort Pads are in
position over the Adjuster Buckles [i] on the
Shoulder & Under Straps.
10. Now position the vehicles seat belt on the
passenger in the normal way.
Note: Do Not over-adjust the shoulder straps as this will
cause the buckle to ride up from the passenger’s lap, use
the correctly adjusted crotch strap (under strap) to control
the height of the buckle at the lap position.
2. Maintenance:
The M27 Harness can be washed at 40˚C, do not tumble dry.
Daily maintenance before use:
Inspect the harness for damage and wear.
Ensure fixing strap buckles are intact and in working order, including webbing
adjusters. If damage or wear are present, remove the harness from service
and arrange for repair or replacement.
•The Lap strap should be comfortably tight.
Adjustments are made at the lap strap
adjuster buckle.
•Set the crotch strap so that the main
buckle is located on the lower part of the
abdomen at the lap position. The Crotch
strap should have no slack but for comfort
do not overtighten.
•Shoulder straps should be adjusted so as
to allow space to place your flat hand
inside the straps. Adjustments are made
using both shoulder strap adjuster buckles.
•Your harness is not a safety belt, always
use the vehicle seatbelt.
Never leave passengers unattended, when using the M27 Harness or any
other harness system.
