the correct position.  For people  with smaller legs, it may be 
necessary to trim the padding so that it does not contact the 
buckle and inhibit the strap from being fully tightened.  If you 
have difficulty in moving the foam, reinstall the strap through 
the buckle and tighten as in step 3 and 4 above.  

Upper thigh strap 

1.

 

Position the upper (hard) thigh strap assembly so that it is near the top of your leg (at the 
crotch). Fig. 4.1  

2.

 

Insert the strap into the buckle and snug the strap.  

3.

 

Open thecam latch (at the front of the thigh saddle) and slide the entire thigh strap 
assembly as high as you can (into the crotch area).  Close the cam latch.  

4.

 

Re-tighten the adjustment strap around your upper thigh.  If the strap is uncomfortable in 
your groin area, you can lower it slightly. Fig 4.2  

5.

 

Check to make sure that the adjustment strap padding is centered on your thigh and 

is not 

touching the buckle 

(see Figure 2.3.1-3)

.

  If you need to change the position, remove the 

adjustment strap from the buckle and slide the foam padding to the correct position.  For 
people  with smaller legs, it may be necessary to trim the padding so that it does not 
contact the buckle and inhibit the strap from being fully tightened.  If you have difficulty 
in moving the foam, reinstall the strap through the buckle and tighten.
