First attach the 12 cross straps to one of the side
sections (see Fig. 49). To do this, push each strap
through a locking clamp and press the clamp down
fully to lock it. Initially, leave approximately 200 mm
(8 in) of strap outside the clamp (see inset to
Fig. 49).
Note that the three closely positioned strap clamps
should be positioned at the head end of the strap
stretcher (a label on each side section will indicate
this).
Place one end tube above the patient’s head and
one below the feet. Place the “unstrapped” side
section at the side of the patient with the clamps
towards the top (see Fig. 50). Push each end tube
through the corresponding holes in the side
sections.
Hold the “strapped” side section with the longer
lengths of the straps hanging toward the patient
and place it on the bed beside the patient so that
the longer lengths of the straps fold under the side
section (see Fig. 51). Connect the end tubes as
described previously.
CAUTION: Before the stretcher can be used with
the MAXI MOVE, ensure that the ArjoHuntleigh
stretcher spreader bar has been correctly
installed on the carrier (see Fig. 15). Once
correctly installed, the stretcher spreader bar
should be able to rotate approximately 90°
around its axis. Do not install the stretcher
spreader bar in line with the jib.
