Procedures

SCBAG is a self-contained system
that stores in its own carrying bag.

Unzip the bag and open on a flat
surface with the cylinder valve
pointing toward you.

Separate the hook-and-loop
fasteners holding the flaps together
and open up the vest.

Turn the SCBAG over so the
cylinder is underneath and the
carrying straps are on top.

Smooth the right side against
your stomach, then fold the left
side across to secure the hook-and-
loop fasteners.

Fasten the waist belt tang to the
buckle strap extending from the right
side of the facepiece pouch. To
tighten, pull the free end of the waist
belt away from the buckle tang. To
loosen, pull the buckle and tang away
from the fixed end of the waist belt.
