1. Insert MatJack into sack of appropriate size and connect to female coupling inside sack.
2. Zip sack closed and snap zipper hood into place.
3. Attach male end of steel line to a lock fitting on outside corner of sack.
4. Attach 20' safety relief hose to end of steel line.
5. Attach control to relief hose, then attach regulator and regulator hose to control from air source. You are now ready to approach casualty.
6. At rupture site, place neoprene pad on opening to absorb sharp edges that might be protruding.
7. Place MatSack over neoprene pad.
8. Caution- remember neoprene pad is only in place to protect sack from sharp edges.
9. Once MatSack is against neoprene pad, and while it is held in place, run ratchet belts with Barricade covers in place through loops on face of Matsack. Make sure any contaminated surfaces have sleeved belt in contact and not bare ratchet belt in contact, otherwise, you may defeat the purpose of the protective sleeves.
10. Once ratchet belts are in place and tightened, begin inflation until ruptured area is sealed.
11. DO NOT OVERINFLATE, DUE TO TREMENDOUS FORCES CREATED BY AIRBAGS MORE DAMAGE MAY OCCUR .
12. If ruptured area is not sealed in first attempt, deflate bag, reposition Matsack with padding, then re-inflate.
