Drying the Shoulder Harness and Waist Pad

3M recommends air-drying the shoulder harness, waist pad, and straps. Machine drying — even using the dryer's "air
dry" or "no heat" setting — is not recommended.
CAUTION
Do not machine dry the shoulder harness, waist pad, and straps — even using the dryer's "air dry" or "no
heat" setting. Excessive heat during drying can damage the material and cause shrinkage.
To dry the shoulder harness and waist pad
1 Air dry the shoulder harness and waist pad by hanging them in a well ventilated area out of direct sunlight.
CAUTION
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can degrade the material of your shoulder harness and waist pad.
2 Be sure to dry the soft goods thoroughly before storing.
CAUTION
Storage of wet or moist soft goods promotes the growth of mildew and bacteria, which can degrade the
integrity of your equipment and also cause health issues.
