to assist with user comfort during use. The strap assembly

and washer, which retains the buckle pin in position.

hosing, by removing the pin, the buckle will be free of
the housing.

the pin through the one side of the buckle and then
through the housing. On the other side of the housing
allow the pin to again pass through the hole in the
buckle. Fit the small washer on to the retaining screw,
and fit the screw into the end of the pin and tighten
firmly.
3. To adjust the length of the shoulder strap, slide the
plastic adjusting buckle up or down the strap,
