XT Series Extrication Devices
WARNING
If access from the opposite side of the passenger
compartment is not possible, the following
manoeuvres will only be carried out by the operator
who has access to the passenger compartment from
the casualty's side. However, should it be possible
to have a second operator (helper) on the opposite
side, the following manoeuvres will be coordinated
between the two operators. It is preferable that
the team leader is the operator on the side of the
casualty, as the other operator may have problems
with freedom of movement and limited visual eld.
While manually holding the head, pull out the triangular head
immobiliser and position it at the centre of the casualty's
helmet (Figure 67).
Then begin to gradually tighten the straps of the triangular
head immobiliser (Figure 68) until the head is fully secured
to the XT MILITARY (Figure 69). Avoid over-tightening
the straps or tightening them asymmetrically.
