how do you get strap on ? the first side is way bigger than the slot, I'm afraid I'll break it if I force it.

Slide the scoop side from the outside in, in the slot that looks like a straight slit. The handle part that looks like a "T" will notgo thru. Then you turn the handle 90 degrees so it is vertical to the slot on the opposite side. Now going from in to out, lift the handle a touch to place a part of the scoop in the handle in and slide thru. Once you get that is in, let the remainder part follow and turn handle back to lock into place.

Put the end with the flat tip (and groves on the side) through the slot on the one side. When you get to the other side slip it through the other side sideways. The groves hold the strap in place. :)

It is a poor design. You need to pull the strap real tight. Pull it to where the first access hole is available then go one more. You need assistance in doing such. We have a different manufacturer which has a infinite adjustable strap much easier.

My husband does not use the strap. He did confirm that there is only one place to attach. You could possibly call Chapin and get an answer. Sorry we could not be more help.

The same as Dan Tate said: I would double it over at least 4 or so inches and get a grade 5 or 8, 3/8 inch diameter bolt, perhaps even an eye bolt to simplify things. Of course spend the money on stainless steel and use a couple of fender washers on either side with nylon lock nut to finish it off. As long as whatever you're securing this strap to is sturdy, the last thing you would be worrying about failing would be this strap itself. It is truly a strong strap.

it is suggested that you clip it to your bra strap or panties. backwards. hope that helps.

Detach the floating part from the lower part (squeeze and slide out). My camera has a a little notch to thread a strap through, then you pull it back in on itself. Just like any other camera strap.

I couldn't find a way so I just attached it to the strap so when it's off it wouldn't be lost and could easily place back on. Sorry if this answer doesn't help much

Its large Velcro straps that wrap around the sissy bar and I guess u can call them anchors that attach and pull downward. You run them around and attached point on either side of fender/luggage rack/ sissy bar (whatever works best) and back through their own loop, then click into buckle attached to bag and tighten strap. It is kind of hard to exain but you do not need any bungies at all with the system but you do need a sissy bar. Wish they had pictures to exain. Just st know it works!!

pull on the excess strap. to release, push down the metal tab to release. pretty much exactly like this: http://www.amazon.com/SmartStraps-146-Green-Capacity-Cambuckle/dp/B000X1YUZC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393801054&sr=8-1&keywords=cambuckle

I suppose that would depend on the person. I've never had this problem but understand the concern. But any strap would have this same issue, it just might be bumping into things from the front instead of the sides.

I measured the inside dimension of one after I had fastened is sufficiently to keep it from popping open when you kneel down. Looks like anything bigger than 21" will be pushing the limit. You might try sewing a hook-and-loop fabric extender to the existing strap to get more reach. These really are the best, simplest and most comfortable I have ever used.

I don't recall it being an issue. I think I just squeezed the small loop at the end together to get it through the bar, then slipped the strap through the small loop like you'd put on a luggage tag. I guess if it's really an issue, you can take it to a local camera store, and I'm sure they'd help you.

insert the straps into the buckle in the opposite way that you are doing it. i know it seems counter-intuitive - i had the exact same problem! so basically, you are inserting the strap through the "back" side of the buckle (the extra strap will come out like a tongue through a dragon's teeth). once you do that, when the buckle clamps, it will hold. these are really super rings, easy on the hands and durable (i have had them outside all summer). but they really should include some visual instructions. hope this helps!

There wasn't anything to remove on mine. Look at pictures online to see where the slots should be

Thats funny, I am about to do the same thing .. I intend on getting 3 ratchet straps, folding it in half (bed side in), putting on a cover and strapping it up. Just dont try and do it too tight so as not to ruin the internals of the mattress.

I agree with dgminer; you have to snap it into place. It felt like I was forcing it, and then I gave it a little more elbow grease and it snapped on. You might to rotate it slowly as you try to snap it on.

This is a late response to Diosdado but if it can help someone else... I am a female with small, bony 6" wrists. I ordered the Pro series in small and extra small. The small had a bit of room but couldn't close tighter because that was as far as it could go. There was also some excess strap sticking out which I knew would drive me insane while lifting. The extra small could close tighter (I know they say you don't want it tight but I like having the option) and I was able to make it looser as well. The main thing was no excess strap sticking out. Now, my husband tried the small on and while he didn't lift anything with the grips they seemed to fit him okay.
