2.2.13.-ASSEMBLING THE BRAVA STRETCHER ONTO THE BRAVO RAIL
We must adjust the maximum elevation range of the stretcher only
the first time we load it on the rail. If we change to another ambulance of a different
height we will have to adjust it again
To adjust the maximum elevation of the upwards
range of the stretcher, we must place it opposite the

ail on the outside of
the ambulance. Place the front wheels half a centimetre
above where the small loading wheels slide. See picture
Keep the stretcher in this position and take it off the rail.
Afterwards we must look for the adjusting cam in the
upper part of the stretcher near where the shock
absorbers are joined to the back rest. The cam is joined to
the axle with a “H” screw which has to be loosened, then
we will rotate the cam until it presses against the limit
switch. For this purpose there is a sticker with a graduated scale which can be used
for reference. Once positioned so that we have heard the “click” at the limit switch we
will tighten the screw again to set the cam in this final position.
From then on the stretcher will only rise as far as the elevation set.
Check by carrying out a loading manoeuvre and readjust if necessary.
On uneven ground or elevation changes we can raise the stretcher to its full
movement limit by pressing the buttons + (top + yellow) at the same time.
For the next manoeuvre, the stretcher will be raised using the blue button to the level
that was previously set.
