Ensure the Comfort Clip (Fig 11A) is released and unfasten the tongue from the
grey webbing buckle.
2. Pull the metal tongue on the black webbing upwards to release the webbing

webbing forming the lap belt and the grey webbing forming the shoulder belt (Fig
12).
3. Insert the tongue fixed to the black webbing into the stalk buckle (Fig 4).
4. Adjust for comfort by raising the webbing on the shoulder by two finger widths,
unlock the Comfort Clip to take up the slack, then re-lock the clip so that it rests on
the reel cover.
5. The lap belt anchor points should be positioned to achieve belt angles of 30°
or more to the horizontal and preferably between 45° and 75° in order to fit low
across the pelvis reducing the possibility of the belt loading the abdomen (Fig 7).
The pelvic restraint is designed to bear upon the bony structure of the body and
should be worn low across the front of the pelvis with any junctions between the
pelvic and shoulder restraints located near the wearers hips.
