INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
The
BAB’So
kit is versatile and can be worn on the wrist or the ankle,
on belt loops, or attached to a life jacket (rolled up or flat).
It is
recommended to place the kit on a piece of equipment that you have
with you at all times when practicing your sport.
On the wrist:
-
Place the lifeline (10) around your wrist. (Figure G)
Adjust the size of the lifeline to a smaller wrist by tying a knot,
leaving a sufficient margin of comfort. (Limbs may swell during
effort)
-
Adjust the position of the pennant in the envelope.
Small sizes: push the pennant (2) to the end of the
envelope (1).
Large sizes: pull the top of the flag to the opening of
the envelope (1).
-
Place the envelope against your torso with the opening facing
upwards. (Figure H)
-
Hold the kit against your torso with your wrist. Roll the envelope
around your wrist and close it using the Velcro strips. Adjust for
maximum comfort, while ensuring the kit is firmly in place. (Figures
I+J+K)
-
If necessary (for large sizes), install the protective strip (15) to
prevent the Velcro strip from chaffing.
On the ankle:
(As for the wrist)
-
Install the lifeline (10)
-
Roll the envelope around your ankle and close it using the Velcro
strips. Adjust for maximum comfort, while ensuring the kit is firmly in
place.
On belt loops :
-
Install the lifeline (10) around the belt loop of your trousers or on the
belt. Use the belt loops to the side preferably.
-
Slide the envelope through the belt loop from front to back, to enable
easy access.
-
If necessary, use the Velcro strips (14) to attach firmly.
On a lifejacket (example of attachment) :
-
Place the kit flat. Install the lifeline (10) onto the lifejacket buckle
strap (between the lifejacket and the buckle), so that the
BAB’So
remains in place when the lifejacket is opened.
-
Wind the envelope (1) around the strap, leaving the opening easily
accessible.
-
Ensure that the pennant (2) can be easily pulled out. If necessary,
loosen the winding of the kit.
