CARRYING SLING
Carrying sling
The carrying sling enables the UMP to be carried in several ways. In this
process, the buttstock may be folded up or unfolded.
The carrying sling is attached to the mounting points on the receiver,
handstop, or buttstock via the carbine hooks.
Length Adjustment
• Close coupler
• Rest the carrying sling between thumb and index finger and let the
UMP hang down in a horizontal position. Adjust the length in such a
way that there is a space of approximately 10 cm (4 inches) between
your forearm and the UMP (Fig. 34).
For adjustment
• Slide the forward buckle and coupler with the sewn-up end as far as
possible up to the front carbine.
• Somewhat loosen the belt loop in the rear buckle.
• To shorten the carrying sling, pull the upper loop forwards
• To lengthen the carrying sling, pull the upper loop to the rear.
• Tighten loop in the buckle
• Tighten carrying sling
Routing the Carrying sling
In order to carry the UMP laterally against the body or in front of the
body (ready position), or on the back, the carrying sling must be properly
routed. To do so:
• Pull the two halves of the carrying sling apart and upwards.
• Place the upper part of the carrying sling onto your shoulder over your
head.
