Figure 4-14.—MA-2 torso nomenclature. the main sling to the canopy release fittings and riser assembly. Observe that when suspended, the aircrew member’s body has not shifted out of the main sling saddle. LAP BELT AND SHOULDER ADJUSTMENTS To make the lap belt and shoulder harness adjustments, the aircrew member must sit in an ejection seat. Connect the lap belt fitting and adjust the lap belt until it is snug. Leave no slack in the lap belt. If the lap belt has been completely adjusted to the stop and slack remains, try a smaller harness. If this does not work, the aircrew member is considered a candidate for a custom- fit harness. The canopy release/riser/shoulder restraint system must be connected. With the aircrew member sitting upright, shoulders back, there should be no slack in the shoulder harness restraint. If the shoulder harness is fully retracted and there is slack, adjust the torso harness Koch fitting down until slack is removed. Personnel whose prescribed torso harness does not meet the above criteria will be further evaluated in other size MA-2 harnesses, if appropriate. 4-17
