5.4 Installation:
5.4.1 Connecting the Device to the Body Belt:
Connect the two Body Belt Carabiners to the Primary Connecting Links of the Body Belt as show in
Figure 4 below.

inward or outward. Inward facing gates as shown in Figure 4 makes connecting and disconnecting
easier and prevents materials/equipment from interfering with the gates.
