(3) Place the quick release into the vise with

the chest straps located at the top, the leg straps at the

bottom, and the operating button centered between the

vise jaws (fig. 2-5). Tighten the vise to a snug fit which

should require 4- to 5-pounds of force applied with an 8-

inch-long handle for leverage.

NOTE

During application of the pull-test, all

references to direction (right, left,

top, bottom, rear) are presented as

rigger's view when positioned to the

side of a quick release contained

within a vise.

(4) Grasp the right chest strap firmly with

both hands as close as possible to the harness lug, and

apply a steady hard pull toward the rear of the quick

release (A, fig. 2-6). Maintaining a steady hard pull,

alternate the direction of pull force 6 inches to the left

and 6 inches to the right (B). Apply the alternating pull

action six times without releasing the strap.
