Loading the stretcher on the board
Make sure that the folding sidebars are in the closed position; otherwise the stretcher can become damaged.
When loading the stretcher:
•
Push the stretcher in the direction of the loading board.
•
Set the loading wheels on the board and move forward until the front legs have touched the edge of the
surface.
•
The operator must make sure that both wheels of the loading trolley are on the board (safety position) and
simultaneously assess the distance of the front wheels from the ground (at least 5/6 cm).
•
Once the front legs touch the board, the operator, without pushing the stretcher, must engage the right
lever (1) (close front legs).
•
After the lever has been engaged, push the stretcher, allowing the front legs to close and fold. Avoid extre-
me bumping of the front legs against the edge of the board. The legs and their mechanisms may become
damaged.
•
Push the stretcher until the rear legs touch the board; then raise the stretcher and pull up the left lever (2)
(rear leg lock); then complete stretcher loading.
•
Make sure that the wheels of the loading trolley fit into the front stop (if supplied).
•
Secure the stretcher with the rear stop (if supplied).
We recommend the use of the original Spencer front and rear stops for anchoring the stretcher as they guarantee optimal stability in all directions. If you use fastening
systems other than those listed above, make sure that they work properly.
Unloading the stretcher
Unlock the stretcher from its fastening systems.
Grasp the stretcher by the rear handles on the frame and pull it towards you without operating any controls, taking care to keep the stretcher in a horizontal position until
the rear leg is fully open, where it will lock automatically. After checking that the rear leg has been opened correctly, proceed with unloading until the front leg has been
fully opened, where the same check must be carried out.
Make sure that the ground underneath is safe and stable before extracting the front loading trolley wheels.
Brakes
The brake can be engaged by pulling the lever on the wheel. The brake system not only locks wheel rotation also stops complete wheel unit rotation with respect to its
vertical axis, creating adequate immobilization of the stretcher.
Press on the same from the opposite side to disengage the brake.
Securing the stretcher to the trolley
Engage the parking brakes on the lower trolley.
Place the stretcher on top of the trolley and lay it on top of the trolley so that the sliding guides engage with each other.
Slowly push Stretcher 506 towards the front of the trolley by operating the hook lock on the trolley, making them a stable and secure system.
Removing the stretcher from the trolley
Pull the knob on the rear of the trolley with your right hand and grasp the left hand knob of the stretcher with
your left hand and simultaneously pull it towards you.
The two operators, one at the front and one at the rear, must grasp the knobs of stretcher 506 and lift it up.
Stretcher board adjustments
Always inform the patient before making adjustments.
Changing the backrest inclination from a horizontal to vertical position:
Lift the backrest until the first position is reached, where it will automatically lock. Continue in this way to
reach subsequent positions (seven positions are possible in addition to horizontal), always verifying correct
activation of the locking system.
Changing the backrest inclination from a vertical to horizontal position:
Support the backrest with one hand (to prevent unexpected movements) and take away the weight from the
backrest by moving it upward.
At the same time, pull the plastic knob on the backrest piston upward until the safety mechanism unlocks.
Then, supporting it with the other hand, lower the backrest toward the horizontal position until you reach
the desired height and then release the knob to the rest position. To reach subsequent positions, lift and
support the backrest movement (seven positions are possible in addition to the horizontal position). Always
lift the weight of the backrest before pulling the knob. Incorrect procedure could permanently damage the
backrest piston.
