7.9 HOW TO USE HANGING KIT "EVOLUTION" (# 871.04):
Hanging kit Evolution, made of two separate arms, has been conceive to make easier the use of
Kong Stretcher when the injured is suspended in vertical or over hanging position. Better than Orion
in case of a sturdy injured.
The fixing of Evolution arms is identical to that of Orion (red with red – blue with blue – connectors
from outside to inside, etc...).
To lift (or to lower) the stretcher use a twist lock connector (# 962) to connect the two central rings.
It is advisable to interpose between the hook and the Evolution a "Ciapin" (# 274S – multi-anchor
static webbing) that minimizes the risks caused by rigid connections and rationalize the positioning
of different loads (stretcher, first rescuer, second rescuer, safety longes, etc...) (fig. 67).
If the "Ciapin" is not used it is advisable to insert both rings into the lifting hook – in this last case
the twist lock connector it's only for safety (fig. 66).
7.10 HOW TO USE "GEMINI" HANGING KIT FOR CABLEWAYS (# 871.01)
Hanging kit Gemini has been studied to keep the stretcher parallel to the bearing cable.
The fixing of Gemini arms is identical to that of Orion (red with red – blue with blue – connectors
from outside to inside).
• The best sliding of Kong Stretcher fitted with Gemini is obtained by using two double pulleys
Pamir (# 826)(fig. 68).
• Otherwise two "Turbo Roll" pulleys (# 821) may be used as an alternative, connecting them
to the two rings of the Gemini via a screw sleeve connector Oval Alu Classic (# 730) as
shown in fig. 69
• In case of "critical" environment, it is advisable to install two static bearing ropes and the
use of two pulleys "Heavy duty" (# 819) inserted onto both ropes (fig. 70).
WARNING!
Hanging kit Gemini shall not be used for vertical lowering or lifting – in that occasions use only
either Orion or Evolution.
7.11 BLOCKING KIT HELICOPTER'S CABIN FLOOR (# 871.03)
The kit is composed of four adjustable webbings fitted with a quick link and a stainless steel quick
release connector. It allows to fix the stretcher to the cabin floor of helicopters or other vehicles (fig.
71). The pulling of the red webbing makes possible the quick release of the connectors (fig. 72).
