ADJUSTING
When you order a complete buoyancy set, you're going to
receive all parts assembled and ready to use. However, to
improve the comfort and safety of the user, in the end you
should adjust the shoulder straps and the crotch strap.
NX Series harness is available in two sizes: M and XL.
M-size harness is designed for people of 175cm in height
and shorter, whereas XL-size harness for people taller
than 175cm.
The unique construction of NX Series harness, providing
automatic shortening of shoulder straps after you fasten
the waist strap, combines the advantages of the tradition-
al technical harness with easiness to put it on and take it
off provided by the harness with easy-to-undo buckles. In
most cases the set requires adjustment only before the
first dive after the purchase and in the case of changing
the suit, thanks to which, at all times, the user has a set
providing optimal trim and stability.
NX Series harness is traditionally equipped with v-type
crotch strap which distributes pressure on a larger area
and at the same time improves comfort in particular
when you dive with a scooter. If you prefer the traditional
type of crotch strap, contact the producer to obtain infor-
mation on how to attach it.

In the basic version of harness the shoulder straps
and the crotch strap are adjusted through shortening
or lengthening the loop which forms at the end of the
webbing. The following picture shows points where
shoulder straps and crotch strap can be adjusted:

Fig. 2. Points where shoulder straps and V-type crotch
strap can be adjusted in standard harness.
In order to lengthen the shoulder or crotch strap, first
insert the end of the webbing into the blocking buckle
(stopper) and then take out the excess of the webbing at
the side of the loop. In order to shorten the strap, do the
opposite, i.e. first insert the webbing at the side of the
loop into the blocking buckle and then take out the excess
of the webbing at its loose end.

Guidelines for how to adjust NX Series harness:
1.
In properly adjusted NX Series harness the waist
strap should be placed few centimetres below the
waist(you need to properly adjust the height at which the
plate is installed as well as the length of shoulder straps).
Too high or too low location of the waist strap
will decrease your comfort.
2.
In NX Series harness the waist strap shall be fastened
so that it is placed onto shoulder straps. The fastening of
the waist strap should press the shoulders straps to the
body improving the adjustment of the harness. You need
to take it into consideration while adjusting the harness
and check the adjustment of shoulder straps after you
fasten the waist strap.
3.
The length of the crotch strap should be so adjusted
that after the fastening the waist strap falls downwards
creating Y shape with the crotch strap.
4.
The crotch strap should not be too short since it could
be more difficult to find it while putting on the harness.
