INSPECTION

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

� To clean, remove dirt with a soft brush. Wash with mild soap and warm water. Never use harsh detergents or bleach as that can

degrade the materials. Allow to air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not store damp.

� Always keep your LRB™ away from sharp objects or anything that could cut, abrade, or burn the harness.

� Normal use allows for a 3 year life of this product. Due to natural degradation of materials, any LRB™ that is 7 years or older should

be destroyed, even if unused, to prevent use.

from prolonged use.*

� Inspect LRB™ & LRB™ FLOATING LOOP for chemical contamination or excessive UV light exposure. Look for discolored, faded, or

degraded components that may indicate exposure to corrosive elements.*

� Inspect the hardware to ensure there are no cracks or burrs that could compromise the webbing in high-load situations.*

� If your LRB™ or LRB™ FLOATING LOOP fails inspection, it must be destroyed to prevent further use.

*Perform inspection before each use

FLOATING LOOP USAGEFor certain airborne platforms that require you to face outward or forward, the LRB™ FLOATING LOOP can be installed to vary the lanyard

attaching point.

the LRB™ FLOATING LOOP. Attaching the loop inside-out is likely to

result in serious injury or death.

FLOATING LOOP PANT BELT INSTALLATION

When installing the LRB™ FLOATING LOOP, the LRB™ should pass

through the small webbing loop with the stitching oriented across

the top. This positioning will aid in bartack inspection.

Depending on your position in the aircraft, the LRB™ FLOATING

LOOP should be installed in-between the belt loops on your pants.

You should use all your belt loops.

FLOATING LOOP MRB™ OUTER BELT INSTALLATION

There are two points on the MRB™ OUTER COVER that the LRB™

FLOATING LOOP can be installed. At the curved portions of the

MRB™ OUTER COVER, the belt can be exposed.

These points are ideal for installing the LRB™ FLOATING LOOP.

When installing LRB™, ensure you pass the LRB™ over the

SUSPENDER LOOP to reduce the possibility of tying into the wrong

point.
