The rubber bands attached to the feet are very important. If they are weak
or break ,your dude is in a world of hurt. Inspect them often and if in
doubt---Replace Them---.
The shoulder clips can, in a hard opening, be bent slightly and can allow
the ring to slip out. This of course is a major "no-no". Inspect them from
time to time and use pliers if they are out of shape and bend them back to their
proper shape.
This is a beeper that is quite useful if your field is like ours surrounded
by corn and soy bean fields. Of course if we were all really good we would
never get in the corn or beans, but if you do, believe me it is most desireable
to have a beeper. The one we use is from C-Tronics and it is very loud.
The other white line here is the antenna. Everyone that I know lets it
hang out and blow in the wind. It has never caused any of our guys a problem.
It doesn't look really cool, but it isn't very cool if you get out of range of
an antenna that is rolled up inside your dude.
