1F. Initial adjustment of the dorsal attachment point
This adjustment should be done only once when putting
on your harness for the first time. Have another person
help you do it.
Slide the strap retainer so that both layers of webbing
are taut between the two buckles, (2) and (9) (no slack).
Be sure to neatly stow the excess webbing (flat - no
loops of slack) in the strap retainer so that it doesn't
interfere with your work.
Adjust the position of the dorsal attachment point to suit
your individual body shape and size. Position it at the
level of the shoulder blades. If the dorsal ring is too low
on the back, you will be hanging too far forward when in
suspension. If it is too high on the back, you will feel a
squeezing sensation.

Adjustment and suspension
test
Your harness must be adjusted
to fit snugly to reduce the risk
of injury in case of a fall.
You must move around
and hang in the harness
(suspension test) from each
attachment point with your
equipment to verify that the
harness fits properly, provides
adequate comfort for the
intended use and that it is
optimally adjusted.
