XT Series Extrication Devices
Tighten the chest restraints by pulling their free end (Figure
76). If 2 operators are working together, perform this
procedure in a coordinated manner, so that both restraints are
tightened at the same time. Tightening will also secure the
chest to the board of the XT MILITARY (Figures 77 and 78).

WARNING
Special care must be taken to ensure that the pulling
of the restraint does not cause it to block inside
the buckle. This phenomenon can be common and
can be prevented by pulling the free portion of the
restraint along the portion of the chest restraint
already locked with the buckle and accompanying
the tightening manoeuvre with a nger placed
between the two portions of the restraint, near the
buckle (Figure 79).

overlapping near the buckle
Extend the thigh straps to full extension and pass the end
with the male buckle between the casualty's legs (Figures
80 to 82).
