2 Rigging the Razor Harness 2
Below is an easy to follow guide detailing the 10 steps to rigging and adjusting your Razor Harness.
Each step has supporting pictures.
It is highly recommended that you read through the guide and look at the
accompanying pictures to thoroughly familiarize yourself with the various
parts and assembly procedures before you start to put your Razor Harness
together.
Ideally you should have your Side-Mount Instructor rig your Razor Harness
with you.
Rigging the harness is much easier with 2 people.
No one is perfectly bilaterally symmetrical and a properly fitted harness will
not be either.
The person having the harness fitted should wear it while their partner makes
adjustments in situ to get the perfect fit.
If rigging the harness by yourself a full length mirror will help you to position
everything correctly.
Ideally when you rig the harness you should do so while wearing your normal
exposure protection so that it fits snugly. If that is not practicable then
wear clothing of a similar thickness to your normal exposure protection and
make sure you leave some extra webbing for later adjustments should they
be required.
It is highly recommended that you use the T weight system with the Razor
Harness however if you are going to put weight directly on the Razor Harness
then it is advisable to work out how much weight you will need and where you
want to place it on your harness before assembling it (see Step 9: Weighting
and Trim).
2.2 Overview

2 Rigging the Razor Harness 2
Your Razor Harness comes already partially pre-assembled to give you an idea
of how everything should fit together but you will need to make some adjustments to get the best fit possible.
You may need to disassemble it to replace the standard D rings with the low
profile D rings or to add weight directly to the harness itself although it is
recommended to use the T Weight System to add any weight you may need.

The DSP is placed with the button head screw on the inside against the divers back
The DSP should be
positioned between
the shoulder blades
below the nape of the
neck.
To get the right height
place 1 arm behind your
head and the tips of your
fingers should just touch the
top of the DSP.
Make sure that the top of the DSP
is clear of your Drysuit neck seal or zipper.
It should also be positioned below
the closed zip position of a wetsuit.

Making sure the DSP remains in the correct position the shoulder D Rings
should be positioned at the same approximate height as the ends of the
clavicle.
To fine tune this position stand with both arms straight out from the shoulders palms facing down and thumbs extended then bend at the elbows until
the thumbs hit the shoulders without lowering the arms.
The D Rings should be placed at this height and can be moved to the ideal
location easily by sliding the serrated tri-glides either up or down the webbing
ensuring each side is even in height.

Step 2: Fitting the Chest D Rings

For divers using the warm water Low Profile D Ring Kit the standard 2” D
Rings should be changed for the 1” version in the LPDR Kit
The webbing will have to be unlaced from the MBP in order to do this.
Weights can be added to the Shoulder Straps where they exit the DSP and
before the shoulder D rings if required (see Step 9: Weighting and Trim)
but it is recommended to use the T Weight System rather than add weight
directly to the Razor Harness itself.
The webbing will have to be unlaced from the MBP and the shoulder D rings
removed in order to do this.
