As a guide, if you are shorter than average, you will
prefer a lower position, and if you are taller than average,
you’ll prefer a higher position. When you release the
anchorage, try to move it up or down to make sure that
it is locked in the desired position.

The adjuster has an easy up (EZ Up) feature, which will
allow it to be moved up without engaging the button.
