1. Make sure the horse is standing square
on a firm, flat surface.
2. Using supplied heat-resistant gloves,
remove FastTrack™ and immediately
put on horse’s leg.
Note: The padding cools quickly; the
best fit is achieved when the padding
is applied to the leg immediately after
heating.

3. Gently but firmly, put lower cuff on
horse’s leg first followed by upper cuff
and secure the straps. Refer to Daily
Use Guide for clarification on applying
FastTrack™ to horse’s leg.
WARNING: Upper cuff may be difficult
to apply to horse's cannon when heated
due to expanded foam. Open upper cuff
fully and use caution when applying.
4. Keep FastTrack™ on horse’s leg for 15
minutes until the padding has cooled.
5. Check the fit of FastTrack™ to ensure
the padding has formed correctly to the
horse’s leg. The heating process may
be repeated to achieve a better fit if
necessary.
6. A snug but not uncomfortably tight fit of
FastTrack™ on the limb is essential to
ensure full effectiveness.
1. Turn Heater Kit “On.”
Note: "On" will be in the down
position and red indicator light will be
illuminated when Heater Kit is on.
2. Heat FastTrack™ for 10 minutes.

7. Check for a minimum of 0.5" clearance
between interior of tendon bumpers
and sides of FastTrack™, from any
tendon and/or ligament structures on
the horse’s distal limb between knee
(carpus) and fetlock.
Note: A gap behind the tendon is
desirable. The lower cuff must close
completely in the back.
8. Check that the center of the SafeStop™
is at the same height off the ground as
the Center of Rotation, i.e. the 2 axes of
rotation should be in alignment.
9. Test fit by placing index finger in
between pad and horse’s leg from the
top.
Note: Fit should be very snug. It should
be difficult to get your index finger
between the cannon and the padding.
Note: You may not have the same
spacing on both sides of the cannon.

12. Once cool, remove FastTrack™ and
check the horse’s leg for any rubbing,
irritation and/or swelling at contact
points between FastTrack™ and the leg.
Minor hair disturbance is normal and is
not cause for concern.
13. Reapply FastTrack™ to confirm the
padding fits correctly.
14. Once a correct FastTrack™ fit has been
confirmed, excess strap length can be
trimmed with scissors so they tuck
better into the keepers.
Repeat the above steps for the other FastTrack™ unit.
10. Lower cuff should be set mid-pastern
with no contact of cuff padding with heel
bulbs or coronary band while horse is
standing square.
11. Lower cuff should fit very snug against
pastern. The padding should close
securely in the back.
