Adjustment of the rucksack
  1. Once the rucksack is loaded, the compression straps are pulled to fix the load within the rucksack.
  2. In a next step, all of the straps belonging to the carrying system (shoulder strap, load control strap, hip belt, and hip belt stabilisation strap) are released (ill. 1).
  3. The rucksack is put onto the shoulders. The tightly pulled hip belt should sit approximately in the middle of the side hip bone and enclose this snugly
  4. The shoulder strap can now be pulled on (not too strongly) (ill. 2).
  5. The chest strap is closed and thereby prevents the shoulder strap from sliding off the shoulders or forming pressure points (ill. 3).
  6. The load stabilisation straps are pulled on, without the shoulder strap being lifted from the shoulder carrier.
  7. The starting-point for the shoulder strap should lie approximately a hand width below the seventh vertebra of the neck (the one that is most prominent on the neck).
  8. The height of the shoulder strap can be adjusted as necessary. The starting-point for the load control straps should lie on the collar bone (ill. 4).
  9. If areas of pressure arise, the aluminium struts or the back plates can be adjusted to fit the shape of the back (preferably by a specialist dealer).
