Adjusting the height of the chest belt
1) Loosen the Allen head screws on both holders.
These are located respectively on the right and left
of the back support (see fig. 9, item 1).
It is also possible to mount the chest belt at the
same height as the support if necessary. In order to
do so, the belt holder (see fig. 9, item 1) has to be
mounted underneath the support holder (see fig. 9,
item 2).
2) Move the holder in the slotted holes.
3) Retighten the screws.
4) Verify that the adjustment is correct.
WARNING! The chest belt is intended to sup­
port the area over the sternum (breastbone)
from the front.
