Step 1.a : Clip the lever on the compressive bandage, while holding pressure on the victim's wound (if they are conscious they can apply pressure themself).
Step 1.b (alternative) : Apply the bandage to the wound and do a single turn around the victim's limb.
(using velcro) : if you are using Velcro, you can attach the lever directly over the wound now.
