3. Place the hip belt over your hip and connect the buckle. Your hip bones should be centered be-
tween the top and bottom of the belt. Pull the straps forward to tighten the hip belt. (Fig. 2)
4. Pull down the shoulder straps to tighten the backpack on your shoulders. (Fig. 3) Do not tighten
too tight. The main weight of the vacuum should be on the hip belt. The anchor points of the shoulder
straps should ideally be between the shoulder blades. Adjust the Vari-Quick height adjuster if neces-
sary to properly place the vacuum to your back length.
5. Adjust the sternum strap on a comfortable part of your chest and close the strap. (Fig. 4)
6. Loosen or tighten the stabilizer straps as needed, to fit your back. (Fig. 5)
7. Do final adjustments on the shoulder and stabilizer straps as needed to balance the weight of the
vacuum on the hips.
