WARNING: Donning and inspecting a harness properly will safe your life and others.
DONNING AND FITTING THE HARNESS
STEP 1: Lift up and hold the harness by the back
D-Ring. Check to ensure that the straps are not twisted.
(Fig. 1)
STEP 2: Grab the shoulder straps and put the harness
on over one arm. Be sure that the dorsal D-ring is
located on your back and that all straps hang freely and
without tangles. Slide your other arm into the harness,
like putting on a jacket. Ensure that both shoulder
straps are sitting flat on top of your shoulders. You will
note that the chest strap and buckle should be located
in front of you. (Fig.2)
STEP 3: Reach between your legs and grasp one of the
leg straps. Pull it up between your legs and make the
connection in front of your harness. The connection will
either be a pass-through style buckle, a tongue buckle
with grommet or a quick-connect buckle. For pass-
through buckles, slide the smaller buckle through the
larger buckle to make a secure connection. For tongue
buck connections slide the strap through the buckle to
the grommet that provided a. secure, snug fit. For the
quick connect buckle insert the tab of the buckle into
the receptor end until you hear a click. This means that
the connection has been made. In all cases tuck the
excess end of the strap under the strap keeper and make
the connection snug, allowing enough space under each
leg strap to slide at least three fingers through. (Fig. 3)
STEP 4: If your harness has a waist belt you can adjust
and buckle the belt to a comfortable, firm fit. (Fig. 4)

STEP 5: Next you need to buckle and adjust the
chest strap to a proper fit. The chest strap should sit
approximately 6 inches (15 cm) below the top of your
shoulders. The connection will either be a pass-through
buckle or a quick connect buckle, as noted in step 3.
Once the connection has been made and the strap is
positioned properly and snug to the chest you can tuck
any excess webbing into the strap keeper.

Fig.6)
STEP 6: Adjust the shoulder straps by pulling on the
torso adjustment buckles located on each side of the
harness. Adjust the shoulder straps equally. This will
also allow you to center the chest strap as mentioned
in step 5.
STEP 7: Final adjustments should be checked to ensure
proper fit as an incorrectly fit harness can cause serious
injury in the event of a fall. (Fig. 7)
•
The chest strap should be snug and positioned
approximately 6" below shoulder level.
•
The legs straps should be snug but still allow you
to easily fit several fingers behind the strap.
•
The sub-pelvic strap should sit directly under
your buttocks without tangles in the straps.
Double check all connections to make sure they are secure
