ADJUSTING THE MA1900 SAILING HARNESS

Use this section if you are using a MA1900 Sailing Harness with the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM (Model MD0450 only).

Put the harness on and adjust the harness to a tight personal fit when the harness rings are tethered. Adjust by pulling (to tighten) or letting out (to loosen) the free end of left-side body strap in relation to the strap adjuster (Fig. 40). To test fit, pull the harness rings together. Re-adjust as required.

WARNING: The harness must be adjusted to fit prior to inflation. Once the Inflatable Vest with LIFTTM is inflated, the harness may no longer be adjusted.

Repack the PFD in accordance with the Repacking instructions (p. 17).

IS YOUR PFD IN GOOD AND SERVICEABLE CONDITION?

Check your PFD between outings to be sure that it is properly armed, as shown by green single point indicator; that it is free of rips, tears or holes; that all seams are securely sewn; and that the fabric, straps and hardware are still strong. Inspect the inflatable portion of the PFD in accordance with the CARE AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (p. 28).
