Mustang Survival MD0450 manual Inserting the MA1900 Sailing Harness

Page 26

The harness is to be worn by individuals that are at least 5 feet 5 inches tall. The harness should be worn as high on the chest as possible. However, in all cases, the belt should be worn at least 2 inches above the lowest rib measured from the bottom of the belt and should not be used if it does not fit in this manner. Adjust the harness by donning the harness and using the sliders so that it is as snug as tolerable. Failure to adjust the harness properly could result in injury. The harness may now be inserted into the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM (MD0450 only, see INSERTING THE MA1900 SAILING HARNESS, p. 22).

When attached to the boat; use a tether of less than 6 feet 6 inches in length with quick-release under-load hardware.

Ensure that a tether, if used, is secured to both harness rings (MD0450 only).

WARNING: Use of a sailing harness to prevent falls overboard presents several risks. In case of capsizing or sinking, the boat may take you down. As such, ensure that any tether used has quick-release under-load hardware. This harness has not been designed for fall arrest, lifting or climbing and should not be relied upon in any of these instances.

US Coast Guard approval does not apply to this harness and the potential for injury has not been assessed.
