BlackTip Band

[Compressor]

Hello:
Can any one have a source on how to secure the Blacktop band?
I feel stupid asking about it but can't figure it out. The video from Blacktip online is not helpful.
Thanks

I couldn't figure how to insert photos, computer wasn't being happy about it.
But the above shows it better than what I have.
You need to have a little slack in the strap or you will never latch it.

Thanks to both of you. I will try again later today after work.
I'm sure I am not the only one struggling with this. I may not be the brightest kid on the block but I think others may benefit from this post.

Your buckle seems oriented differently than others and that may be causing a wee bit of confusion.

Well, I successfully tightened the band in place.
My scooter's bands are slightly different than the ones shown on the manufacturer's youtube channel video. On mine, the buckle is on the long strap. I will enclose 4 photos that shows the configuration before and after. I appreciate all the help I received from ScubaBoard members especially @laikabear who so graciously took photos and a video, spending time to do this.

Those are great photos, thanks for putting them on SB! I struggled with that silly strap for longer than I'd like to admit at first.
