Recommended Fitting of Horizontal Haul
Strops to the Slix 100 Stretcher
By connecting the legs of the Strop to
the same side the load is transferred
along the Stretcher, like a shopping bag
If the legs of a Strop are connected
across the stretcher then the load will
compress the casualty
Make sure that all karabiners are correctly fitted and
the gates screwed closed before commencing a haul.
Always use independent belay points for the Haul and
Security ropes.
Keep the same tension on both ropes to lessen the
chance of a shock load in the event of a rope or belay
failure.
