5-Point Positioning Harness Adjustment
Use this guide to t the harness to the occupant in order to optimize comfort and safety.
Always use shoulder pads to prevent plastic
buckles and strapping from contacting the
occupant's neck and face.
To ensure proper placement of the chest harness,
make sure the chest strap lies in the middle of the
occupant's chest (armpit level).
The pelvic harness has a
cam lock which prevents the
waist strap from loosening to
maintain proper positioning
of the pelvis.
The pelvic harness has a single quick-release button
that unlocks both sides of the pelvic harness for
quick and easy access to the occupant. The quick-re-
lease button requires that you push directly in the
center of the buckle to release both waist straps at
the same time. This is a safety mechanism in case
the occupant attempts to release the buckle on their
own.
Adjust the length of the crotch strap to allow the
pelvic belt to lie across the occupant’s pelvis. This will
prevent the pelvic belt from lying across the lower
abdomen.
Note: To adjust waist strap length, first push up on
webbing to release the cam lock.
