Configuration
The Titan-T stretcher is available in several models. The
instructions on configuration apply to all the models and
include the "split" stretchers.
1.
Make sure that the straps are mounted correctly and in
a sufficient number
2.
Bring the two ends together and attach the "bottom
joint" and the various "coupling" points
3.
Securely tighten the threaded screw system until the
safety ball protrudes.
Use of the stretcher with the split (Split-
Apart) option
The Titan stretchers with Split-Apart option can be
assembled quickly without the need to insert pins, align
telescopic tubes, etc. Before assembly, make sure that there
is no mud, snow or other on the joints that might prevent or
hinder assembly.
1 Put the open parts of the stretcher opposite one
another, possibly on the ground.
2 Lift both sides of the stretcher by about 30°. Slide the
two sides towards each other, engaging the teeth of the
bottom joint. (Fig.1)
3 Push down the two parts of the stretcher, now
connected.
4 Make sure the upper joints are aligned.
5 Screw the bushings on the appropriate threaded
connectors. Make sure the bushings are tight and that
the threads are fully covered by the same bushings.
To disassemble the stretcher, repeat the same procedure
in reverse order.
