keepers are vertical and the bottoms are out beyond the webbing.

2. Push the slides of the keepers down and into the bottom holes.

3. Make sure you push the slides firmly into the holes; otherwise, the slide is in the WRONG position, as shown in the sketch, and the equipment could fall off.

4. Use the pockets on each side of the ammo pouch for carrying fragmentation hand grenades. Be sure, tier putting them in, that the nylon strap goes through the ring and is snap fastened, as shown in the sketch.

NOTE: If you have a 20-round magazine pouch for the M-16 rifle, refer to Step 6 of the following procedure to attach them.
