LSP Halfback

by Tom Bradley

Nov 28, 2010

We just got a LSP halfback device. It came with the lifting strap but the instructions are pretty vague. We know the 2 clips go to the lifting points but the third adjustment strap does not make sense. Ours seem turned inside out. I searched you tube for any info but did not find any info. Does anyone know where i can find some more detailed instructions or pictures?

    This strap is for use with the Miller Full Body Splint/Litter. (See Fig. 11.1)

    11.4 "Connect the stabilizer strap of the Vertical Lift Strap Assembly to the head handle of the Miller Full Body Splint/Litter"

    It isn't designed for full load, just to stabilize for vertical lift when using the halfback and Miller Board. I'm not sure why Allied/LSP doesn't give a clear explanation of this in the halfback manual. It should have a blurb in section 16.0 where it shows the Vertical Lift Strap Assembly.

    Hope this helps

    Thanks Bret, I see how they are using the stabilization strap in conjunction with the Miller board.
