4-Tab Locking Instructions (Recommended)

FOR MAXIMUM BENEFIT, Lock the 4-Tab of your GivMohr Sling

1. Correctly position GivMohr Sling

2. Position the “unlocked” 4-Tab for optimum comfort and function. AVOID placing 4-Tab on base of the
neck. Greater comfort is typically achieved with the 4-Tab located low on the back (about the level of the
bottom of the shoulder blade). Lock the 4-Tab in place by snapping the webbing under the locking hooks
on ALL 4 SIDES

3. Re-check the overall fit of the GivMohr Sling and repeat if needed
