SCOOP EXL Stretcher
4.Ensure the adjustment was successful and that the length of the stretcher is set according to the height of the patient.
5. Before any use of the stretcher, ensure the latches are locked (facing downward, Figure 4) and that the stretcher is properly
locked into position.
After appropriately adjusting the length of the stretcher, check the locking levers are set correctly. To verify, check that both
levers are pointing downwards, then pull out the foot section. If the section does not extend, the latches are locked correctly
and the stretcher is locked in position.
3. After reaching the desired length, lock the levers on both sides of the stretcher, positioning them facing downward (Figure
4). When correctly aligned, an audible click is heard.

Stretcher configuration
4.2 Twin Safety Lock (TSL) System
The stretcher is fitted with two Twin Safety Lock (TSL)
systems that allow you to open or close the stretcher
lengthwise, splitting it into two equal parts (Figure 5).
The two TSL systems are positioned at each end of the
stretcher (head end and foot end) and each has two buttons
for the opening of the stretcher.

HOW TO OPEN THE STRETCHER
Each TSL consists of two buttons (Figure 5). To open the stretcher, proceed as follows:
1. Grasp the head-end lifting handles with both hands (Figure 6).
2. Press both buttons on the TSL simultaneously and open the stretcher, separating the two sides (Figure 6). This separates the
two longitudinal parts which constitute the stretcher (Figure 7).
3. Repeat the same steps to open the stretcher at the foot end.
