Please read the vest instructions

completely before you try to put the vest

on. It is very helpful to have a friend help

you the rst time you put on the vest.

Otherwise use a full-length mirror.

Open the vest

• Loosen both chest straps.

• Release the hip straps on the left

side.

• Open the chest buckle on the left

side.

• Open the shoulder buckle on the

left side.

• Slip the vest on.

• Close the shoulder buckle.

• Close the chest buckle.

• Center the chest plate on your

chest.

• Tighten the chest straps evenly and

secure the loose, Velcro

®

ends.

• Push down on the chest plate to

seat the shoulder pads on your

shoulders.

Note: A few operators have

body shapes or sizes that

are out of the general range

of adjustments. You may

nd you have to add or

remove padding, shorten

or extend straps, etc. to

make the vest t perfectly.

Pay close attention to the good

t of the vest in the photo

above. It’s very important how

the shoulder pads contact the

shoulders and the shoulder

connectors are not too high (a

common mistake).

Putting on the vest

• Pull out the chest plate release pin

and adjust the center spar up or

down so the hip pad sits centered

on your hips. Replace the chest

plate release pin in the nearest

hole.

• Be sure the Velcro

®

straps are

horizontal on the hip pads, and

tighten the hip straps completely

and evenly.

• Close the buckles at the chest and

hips.

• The vest should be very snug,

but not uncomfortable. Adjust the

straps as necessary.

Removing the vest

The vest should be unbuckled on the left

side only, from bottom to top:

• Undo the hip strap rst.

• Undo the chest buckle.

• Undo the shoulder buckle and

slip out of the vest. When you

put it back on, you will not need

to readjust the chest plate or the

chest straps.
