of the parts before using the stretcher for either practice

and arrange them until there is no contact. The connections
should be centred on the sternum or abdomen.

and insert it into the hook buckle until it locks into position
(fig. 1).
3. Always ensure the buckle is fastened
To release the restraint:
1. Press the red release button located in the central part of
the buckle.
2. Pull the tab from the joints
To extend the restraint with the patient on board:
1. Grasp the controller and turn it until it is perpendicular
to the belt. Pull in the opposite direction to the anchor point
until the belt is of the desired length. (fig. 2)
