① Measure the wearer's hip width using the provided hip width ruler.
② Select the appropriate waist part size according to the wearer's hip width.
hip width: 12.4 ~ 14.4" (315 ~ 365 mm) Small
hip width: 14.0 ~ 15.9" (355 ~ 405 mm) Medium
hip width: 15.9 ~ 17.9" (405 ~ 455 mm) Large
③ Use the torque wrench provided to adjust the waist part width according to the wearer's hip width. Details of
the waist part adjustment are shown in section 5.3 Adjust the waist part width.
④ Use the extension belt if the length of the waist belt is too short.
The extension belt may be used to increase the length of the waist belt by up to 5.9 inches (150 mm).
⑤ Use a Medium‐size thigh support frame initially. If the thigh support frame area comes in contact with the knee
cap, then use the Small‐size thigh support frame.
⑥ Use the thigh support strap size which fits the wearer's thigh.
Choose the strap size adequately, so that the Velcro can be securely fastened.
