| To tighten the strap, you must first slide it up towards the chine of the canoe and depress the lever that says press. Pull it fairly snug with one hand. | Next, grasp the end of the strap with both hands and snug her down a bit more. Don't try to climb up the side of your car or go into the Iron Cross. Just give it a little more tension within reason. |

| I like to run the excess strap straight down from the buckle and then wrap it around the load bar as barely depicted behind the wrist with the watch on it. | Wrap the excess strap around the thwart, or seat, or yoke and bring it back to tie with a half-hitch around the main, vertical portion of the straps. This acts as a fail-safe and keeps the canoe from going forward while panic-braking for moose. Do the same with the second strap on the other load bar only tie the excess backwards to prevent the wind from pushing canoe back while attempting to elude the law at high speed. |
