PUTTING ON THE SADDLE

(1) Open the buckle on the cinch strap.
(2) Open the leg strap buckles.
(3) Hold the belt facing forward and step into it. Raise the belt into position just above your hip bones.
(4) Close the cinch strap buckle and pull the webbing snug.
(5) Buckle the leg straps making sure they are without twists and that the leg pads are at the back of your thighs.
The cinch strap on the belt holds the saddle in position on your body as you move your weight on and off the saddle during a climb. To open the
buckle, squeeze the sides. To close, push the two parts together until they click. Pull the strap snug.

SAFE CONNECTION TO THE ROPE

Onyx is equipped with a rated ring on the bridge. It is safe to tie in to the ring, or directly to the
bridge. You can open the bridge to remove the ring, or to install your own ring. See Bridge
Connections below for information on safe rigging of the Onyx rope bridge.
SIDE D
Using a lanyard or flipline, you can also tie in safely to BOTH side Ds. Do not rely on one side D
alone. The life-safety structure of the saddle requires that the side Ds be used together. While
tied in to the bridge, you can attach a secondary line to just one side D for positioning only. It is
also safe to tie in directly to BOTH rigging plates in the same way.
Four carabiner loops, three suspender rings, four gear loops, one extra large removable gear
loop, three aluminum accessory rings and four tool slots are built into the belt for adding
accessories such as tools, equipment or gear bags to the saddle.
