Operating Instructions

To Tighten:

When the end fitting of the ratchet are properly in place, pull
the webbing slack through the slot in the ratchet mandrel. Tighten the strap by
ratcheting the handle up and down until secure. A minimum of two turns of
webbing should be around the mandrel after tensioning. To secure the ratchet in
a lock position, pull the handle down against the frame.

To Release:

To release, pull back on latch lock handle and rotate the handle
approximately 180 degrees. At this point, the web will easily slip out of the
ratchet.

WARNING: The use of cheater bars or other means of increasing
the leverage on a ratchet buckle handle, other than a Multiprens USA approved
device, can cause serious injury to the user and/or bystanders. All Flat Hooks
and Flat D-Rings have a defender clip to prevent cutting of the web. Cut, worn
or damaged strap assemblies should be immediately replaced. The strength of
strap assemblies is rated at its weakest point.
