WTX Series Owner’s Manual 19
Mounting a Single Cylinder or Twin Cylinders
using Nuts and Bolts
To bolt a single cylinder or twin cylinders to the WTX harness, an
Apeks back plate must be inserted into it. Ideally, the bolts on a single
tank attachment kit or on a set of twin bands should be 11 inches
(28 cm) on center. Remove the back pad from the WTX harness.
Insert the bolts through the appropriate grommets on the bladder,
and through the appropriate grommets on the WTX harness. Secure
with at washer and nut.
Adjusting the Crotch Strap
The crotch strap is adjusted by moving the 2 inch webbing
through the 3-bar slide near the back. The crotch strap
should be tried on and adjusted while wearing your exposure
suit. The strap should be lightly snug but not so snug as to
prevent you from raising your arms above your head. Excess
strapage can be cut with scissors and the end burned with
a lighter to prevent unraveling, or it can be tucked into the
elastic retainer loop.
Note: Do not cut the excess strapage so short that you cannot en-
large it in the future to compensate for a thicker exposure suit.
