them through openings (N) and pulling them to form the proper shape of the stretchers (O).
The stretchers are intended for horizontal transportation of the injured by one person by
pulling them along a flat or slightly sloped surface (P).

Horizontal transportation of the injured
Horizontal transportation of the injured on surfaces with a bigger angle of slope requires the
assistance of at least 4 persons with the use of 4 transportation grips (R). Stretchers DX020
are also intended for suspending below a helicopter with the use of slings with two different
lengths, allowing maintaining the head above the feet level (S). At one point the slings should
be clamped with an AZ018 snap hook, which will thus form a catch for connecting to the
hoisting winch of the helicopter or to the transportation line (T). Where necessary, the
stretchers may be adjusted for carrying by 8 persons, by adding additional grips, included in
the set, which are inserted in the free openings.

Vertical transportation of the injured
In order to transport the injured vertically, when the stretchers are ready to use (O) it is
necessary to slip a lanyard through the free openings in the circumference of the stretchers, as
shown in figure (U). In the middle of the lanyard a "figure eight" knot should be done to
provide a catch point (W), and another, self-locking one, the so-called fisherman's knot (X).
