WARNING DESCRIPTIONS
WARNING
Ensure the sizes of the front and back carrier match by comparing data

sizes of the front and back carriers by comparing data plate information.
Failure to do so could affect performance, causing injury or death to the

WARNING
Ensure there are no kinks in the quick-release cable. Failure to do so
could adversely affect the function of the quick-release, causing injury or
death to the service member.
WARNING
Pressing, starching, dry cleaning, or the use of fabric softener will
degrade the IBA. Failure to following these instructions could result in
harm to the soldier.
WARNING
(IOTV ONLY) Ensure the quick-release cable is routed through the two
grommets of the cable stop, or a malfunction may occur. It does not
matter which cable is routed through which grommet.
WARNING
Proper routing of the cable release assembly is critical to the proper
operation of the vest during an emergency doffing. The left-hand side
plate carrier (left side plate carrier for IOTV or left-hand universal side
plate carrier for IOTV Gen II) should be attached first, followed by the
right. Failure to follow these directions could result in injury or death.
