G1 Harness and Carrier Assembly

The harness and carrier assembly consists of:
• Backplate (houses the power module, battery module, and pressure reducer)
• Cylinder band with latch to hold the cylinder
• Shoulder pads
• Adjustable pull straps
• Lumbar pad
• Waist belt
• Regulator Keeper
• Chest strap (optional)
Shoulder Straps
The shoulder pads are available in two options; standard and serviceable. The standard shoulder
pads provide weight distribution across the shoulder, friction pad to prevent slippage of the straps,
increased visibility with retroreflection material, and steel buckles for a secure fit. The serviceable
shoulder pads provide the same features as the standard shoulder pad but allow the user to easily
access the hoses without having to disconnect them from the SCBA. The tunnels on these pads are
released using snap buttons to ease in swapping or repair of components. The inside and outside of
the shoulder straps are identifiable by print/stitching. A facepiece clip can also be attached to either
shoulder strap.
The control module, regulator, and speaker module can be positioned either on the left or right
shoulder pad. Typically the regulator and speaker module are placed on the left shoulder and the
control module is placed on the right shoulder. The regulator keeper can be positioned in multiple loca-
tions including the waist belt and chest strap.The regulator and the regulator keeper must be on the
same side of the user.
Lumbar Pad
The lumbar pad is available in three versions:
• Adjustable Lumbar Pad - The adjustable lumbar pad provides the user three positions for ideal
comfort. The lumbar pad can be adjusted by one-hand and can be adjusted while worn. The
lumbar pad also has a swivel feature to allow it to move with the user.
• Fixed Position Lumbar Pad - The fixed position lumbar pad provides the user with the middle posi-
tion of the adjustable lumbar pad position and is not adjustable. The lumbar pad also has a swivel
feature to allow it to move with the user.
• Basic Lumbar Pad - The basic lumbar pad is a fixed position, non-swivel unit that provides a low
profile, light weight lumbar option for the user.
