  • Page 10: Step 1: Positioning The Delta Shoulder Plate

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 1: Positioning the Delta Shoulder Plate The DSP is placed with the button head screw on the inside against the div- ers back The DSP should be positioned between the shoulder blades below the nape of the neck.

  • Page 11: Step 2: Fitting The Chest D Rings

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 2: Fitting the Chest D Rings Making sure the DSP remains in the correct position the shoulder D Rings should be positioned at the same approximate height as the ends of the clavicle. To fine tune this position stand with both arms straight out from the shoul- ders palms facing down and thumbs extended then bend at the elbows until the thumbs hit the shoulders without lowering the arms.
  • Page 12 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 2: Fitting the Chest D Rings For divers using the warm water Low Profile D Ring Kit the standard 2” D Rings should be changed for the 1” version in the LPDR Kit The webbing will have to be unlaced from the MBP in order to do this.

  • Page 15 Weights can be added to the Lumbar Strap below the wide gauge Tri-glide if required (see Step 9: Weighting and Trim) but it is recommended to use the T Weight System rather than add weight directly to the Razor Harness itself.

  • Page 16: Step 4: Adjusting The Height Of The Mbp

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 4: Adjusting the height of the MBP The position of the MBP will determine the position of the lower attachment points for the bottom of the Side-Mount Tanks. Most divers will position the MBP at waist height but shorter divers may wish to move the MBP lower to mid hip height to be able to position the side mount tanks lower on the body for greater comfort.
  • Page 17 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 4: Adjusting the height of the MBP The MBP can be moved either up or down the lumbar/crotch strap webbing until it is positioned in the ideal location based on individual diver prefer- ence.

  • Page 18: Step 5: Adjusting The Length Of The Shoulder Straps

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 5: Adjusting the length of the Shoulder Straps Pass each shoulder strap through the inside of slot C on the MBP then back out through slot D. The Harness should assume a “Heart Shape” at this point with the shoulder straps entering on the inside of the MBP and the Waist Straps exiting on the outside.

  • Page 20: Step 6: Fixing Attachment Hardware On The Waist Straps

    If required the loop of the DAP can be placed in a vice and bent gently to have them stand off slightly from the body to make clipping in easier. The DAPs are an ideal location to clip off the Razor Expandable Pouch as well as other items such as reels or lift bags for example.
  • Page 21 Weights can be added to the Waist Strap between the DAPs and the Hip D ring if required but it is recommended to use the T Weight System rather than add weight directly to the Razor Harness itself (see Step 9: Weighting and Trim).
  • Page 22 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 6: Fixing Attachment Hardware on the Waist Straps Steel tanks will tend to remain negative throughout the dive even as gas is used from them however if using Aluminium 80cuft Side-Mount tanks a sec- ond attachment point further forward is necessary to adjust tank trim as gas is breathed from the tanks and they get lighter and become more buoyant.

  • Page 23: Step 7: Fitting The Low Profile Buckle

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 7: Fitting the Low Profile Buckle Attach the Low Profile Buckle to the left hand side of the webbing leaving plenty of extra webbing for adjustments of the harness.
  • Page 24 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 7: Fitting the Low Profile Buckle The loop of webbing between the buckle and the wide gauge Tri-glide should be small enough so that neither of the buckle plates can rotate and are held in the correct orientation.
  • Page 25 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 7: Fitting the Low Profile Buckle The buckle is tightened by passing the right hand waist strap through both of the buckle plates and then back under the large plate. The buckle can be tensioned or released with just one hand making adjustments on the fly while diving very easy.

  • Page 29 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 8: Sizing and Fitting the Side-Mount Bungee If using very heavy SM tanks then a thicker gauge bungee cord may be required. Thicker bungee cord will also need larger gauge Hog rings. The SM Bungee is not designed to support the SM tanks out of the water and will be damaged or broken if this is attempted.

  • Page 30: Step 9: Weighting And Trim

    Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 9: Weighting and Trim Diving either under weighted or over weighted is inefficient and potentially danger- ous. Correct weighting is critical to mastery of buoyancy control and trim allowing easier more comfortable diving. Both the correct amount of ballast weight required and its ideal position on the diver need to be established.
  • Page 31 Rigging the Razor Harness 2 Step 9: Weighting and Trim Weights can be added easily to either the Lumbar T Weight Belt or the Waist T Weight Belt or to both if required. The optimal positioning for ballast weight assuming neutral trim is to either side of, or just above the MBP using both the Lumbar and Waist strap of the T Weight System.

  • Page 33 Normal lead block diving weights can be added to the harness by feeding the webbing through them as you would with a standard weight belt (make sure you leave some extra webbing to do this when you adjust the Razor). The weight can be locked in position with a belt slide if required.

  • Page 34: Step 10: Final Adjustments

    All loose ends of webbing remaining can be held in place with the short sec- tions of bicycle tire inner-tube provided. Many divers choose to get 2 Razor Harnesses, 1 for cold water diving in a Drysuit and 1 for warm water diving in a Wetsuit so that they do not have to worry about adjusting the harness or changing D rings etc.
