Tools Needed for Case Modification                                Pencil and ruler                                Pliers                                11mm wrench                                Drill and 1/4” drill bit
	1. Located on the bottom of the protector case are two pairs of skid fins.  Using the pencil and ruler, measure 5/16” (9mm) from the straight edge of the skid fin and 1/2” (13mm) from the side-sloping edge of the skid fin. Mark these measurements on all four skid fins.
	2. Using the 1/4” drill bit, drill through both sets of skid fins. Ream out the holes slightly with a circular motion
	3. Slide the bolts found in Conversion Kit through the drilled holes from the outside toward the inside of the case. 4. Attach the lock nuts to the ends of the bolts and tighten until flush with the skid fin.  DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

	1. Lay case on HB Pack Harness so handle (folded against case) is flush with ladder lock buckles up near neoprene sleeve.
	2. Look to see which slot the anchor bolts on the bottom of the case are positioned over.
	3. With a flat head screwdriver or tongue depressor, thread the attachment strap through to the appropriate slot on the anchor strip and pull strap through.

	1. Lay HB Pack Harness and the protector case bottom end to bottom end  2. Thread the attachment straps through the anchor bolts so they exit up toward the handle
	Thread the attachment straps around the handle of the protector case
	3. Stand the case up and then lay it down on the HB Pack Harness. 4. Thread the attachment straps through the ladder lock buckles. 5. Before synching down on the ladder locks: a. Pull all slack out of attachment strapping. b. Fold the neoprene flap over the edge of the            protector case handle (neoprene sleeve should be between plastic of handle and plastic of ladder lock buckles). 6. Synch down ladder lock buckles (NOTE: If the protector case is not totally secure to the HB Pack Harness, then the case is not positioned properly and/or the slack in the attachment straps was not completely taken up prior to synching down the ladder lock buckles).
	7. To keep the loose ends of the attachment straps from interfering with the lid of the protector case, slide strap ends into the velcro “strap keeper”located behind triangular flap.
	CAUTION: Falling on or against an HB Pack can cause bodily injury to yourself or others. Always be aware of your abilities and surroundings when wearing an HB Pack.  Please use good judgement.
