point on the stretcher backrest (Figure 29), leg positioning
platform (Figure 30 and 31) or seat panel (Figure 32).
3.
Thread the male buckle/tang or female buckle/receiver through
the loop and pull the webbing through the loop until the loop is
snug around the attachment point (Figure 33).
4.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to attach the other part of the strap to the
selected attachment point on the opposite side of the stretcher.
5.
Keep restraints buckled when not in use.
6.
Ensure that all straps are correct and present on the stretcher as
per figure 34 on page 33, including upper body 4-point harness
consisting of 4 straps and 2 legs straps.
6.12 Removing the Restraints

Unbuckle the buckles.
2.
To remove the restraint, unbuckle the restraint. Feed the
