Page 57: Troubleshooting
troubleshooting Twisted Harness If you notice your car seat’s harness has a twist in it like shown in image A, follow the steps below to identify the type of twist and how to fix it. Identifying the Type of Twist: There are two types of harness twist, a single twist on the upper shoulder strap and a double twist, split around the buckle tongue. - Page 58 troubleshooting Double Twist: For the double twist to occur, the buckle tongue must have been slid over a twist in the belt. To undo this, the process must be reversed. Using the strap section below the buckle tongue, twist the strap so it appears flat before entering the buckle tongue slot.
