4 Rigging the Razor Harness 2.5
Below is an easy to follow guide detailing the 10 steps to rigging and adjusting
your Razor Harness.
Each step has supporting pictures.
It is highly recommended that you read through the guide and look at the accom-
panying pictures to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the various parts and
assembly procedures before you start to put your Razor Harness together.
Ideally you should have your Side-Mount Instructor rig your Razor Harness with
you.
Rigging the harness is much easier with 2 people.
No one is perfectly bilaterally symmetrical and a properly fitted harness will not be
either.
The person having the harness fitted should wear it while their partner makes
adjustments in situ to get the perfect fit.
If rigging the harness by yourself a full length mirror will help you to position every-
thing correctly.
Ideally when you rig the harness you should do so while wearing your normal expo-
sure protection so that it fits snugly. If that is not practicable then wear clothing
of a similar thickness to your normal exposure protection and make sure you leave
some extra webbing for later adjustments should they be required.
It is highly recommended that you use the T weight system with the Razor Harness
however if you are going to put weight directly on the Razor Harness then it is
advisable to work out how much weight you will need and where you want to place
it on your harness before assembling it (see Step 9: Weighting and Trim).
