PREPARING THE EQUIPMENT
The first thing to do it to personalize your
BAB’So
kit, using the
personal and medical ID strip (13).
Take the personal and medical ID strips (13), and a fine-pointed indelible
pen (for example Staedtler® S model, sold separately).
-
Complete your personal information::
Name
Male / Female
Blood group
Emergency contact
Allergies and other health data, social security number
-
Wait a few minutes for the ink to dry
-
Slip the personal and medical ID strips (13) into the transparent
pocket provided (9) on the pennant (2).
-
You can write the information in any language of your choice.
You have just personalised your
BAB’So
Kit. It is now devoted to you
and can be used to help in your rescue.
Now, you are going to stow the whole kit in the Envelope:
-
Attach the whistle strap (11) to the connecting lanyard (12). To do
so, tie a fisherman’s knot in the lanyard with about an arm’s length of
distance between the bottom of the flag and the knot. This means the
whistle can be used at the same time as the pennant.
-
Check that the folding mast (6) is present in the flag lining (3) .
-
Carefully fold the connecting lanyard (12) along the mast, held by
winding the pennant around it and leaving about 15 cm of lanyard
free.
-
Roll up the flag sufficiently tightly around the mast (6), to be able to
slip it easily into the envelope (1). (Figures B+C+D)
-
Slip the whole kit into the envelope (1). Caution : The concave part
of the mast (6) must be facing the lifeline (10). (Figure E)
-
The whistle (11) is placed just under the tab, at the opening, to be
able to access it rapidly.
