I've just learned that -some- of the 1-1/2" wide shoulder
straps that I've shipped with K3 and KX3 cases were not
assembled correctly by the supplier, making them too
long for most users.
The "fix" is to first completely remove the rubber pad from
the strap. It will only come off one end of strap, and this
is done by cocking the hook assembly so that it will slip
through the two slots in the ends of the pad.
With the pad removed, adjust the strap for the shortest
possible length ... about 50". Re-thread the end -without-
the rectangular sliding buckle through the slots in the pad,
thus pulling -two- layers of the strap through the slots.
Re-adjust the length of the strap to suit.
Be sure you have the pad on the strap(s) so that the flat side
is facing inward and the adjustment buckle is facing outward
when the strap is in place on your shoulder.
I don't know how many straps have been sent with the pad
on the strap incorrectly, hence this posting to the reflector.
I apologize for the bandwidth.
73!
