💡 Tips:
Rethread the buckle correctly, rear hole first and then front. When there’s tension on the front loop, the adjustment buckle tightens itself and holds everything securely.
Removing one side first makes the second side much easier.
You can replace the safety handle or leave it off if you don’t need it.
