To facilitate insertion of the stretcher into the ambulance, eliminate sharp edges on the edge of the ambulance loading floor. The stretcher
should be secured using Spencer hooks in such a way as to prevent any movement during transport in the ambulance, even in difficult driving
conditions. Practice with a stretcher without a patient before putting the device into service.
For subsequent use, perform the operations specified in paragraph 12.
If the above conditions are met, the device may be considered ready for use; otherwise, you must immediately remove the device from
service and contact the Manufacturer.
Do not alter or modify the device arbitrarily, as doing so could result in unpredictable operation and damage to the patient or rescuers and
will void the warranty and release the Manufacturer from all liability.
Cross and Crossover stretchers are equipped with an adjustable loading trolley as per the following table:
Model
Height under wheel (cm) VLF height (vehicle loading floor) Accessory needed
Standard Cross /
Crossover
Min Max Min Max CR90021 for
VLF>67cm
CR90010 for
VLF<60cm
58 70 63 75
Low Cross /
Crossover
47 55 52 60
NOTE: Please contact the manufacturer for installations requiring the use of accessories.
The remaining stretcher models described in this manual have a fixed height.
The loading trolley must be adjusted during stretcher installation. Adjustment should be made taking into account that, in simulated loading
conditions and with the loading trolley on the ambulance floor, the wheels of the front legs should be 5/6 cm off the ground.
change the positioning of the trolley locking plates to adjust the height of the loading trolley.
P8
Unlock the loading trolley, supporting it as it lowers. P9 Unscrew the screws and nuts holding the plates in position.
P10
Vary the position of the locking plates upwards or
downwards depending on whether you wish to increase
or reduce the loading height. The new position must
allow for insertion of both previously removed screws.
P11
Insert the screws and partially tighten them. Carry out the same
operation on the plate located on the opposite side of the
stretcher.
P12
Move the loading trolley to its new position. Place the loading trolley on the vehicle floor and check that the
height is correct. If it is, keep the loading trolley on the vehicle floor so that the parts are aligned as well as possible, then fully
tighten the plate fixing screws.
The second preliminary adjustment to be carried out involves the parts of the stretcher used for coupling with the fixing system.
Fastening used
R-MAX / S-MAX / Sensor Lock
CAUTION: Spencer stretcher factory adjustments are already suitable for use with the R-MAX and S-MAX fixing systems. The following
adjustments may only be necessary if the height of the loading trolley has changed or if, for any reason, there is an excessive gap between
the stretcher and the fixing system.
Unlock the fifth wheel by slightly loosening the frame fixing screws on both sides of the stretcher.
Loosen the screws on the wheels mounted on either side of the fifth wheel in the same way.
See image P13
Adjustment: Push the stretcher so that it is flush with the front of the fixing system.
Push the fifth wheel assembly so that the rear locking system underneath the fifth wheel comes into contact with the rear part of the fixing
system and with the stopper on the R-MAX fastenings.
Insert a shim of about 1cm between the fifth wheel and the rear part of the fastening and check that it has reached a horizontal position.
While holding this position, re-tighten the screws that were previously loosened and check that the fifth wheel is fully locked.
Check that the wheels rest on the ambulance floor and, keeping the shim between the fifth wheel and the fastening, tighten the wheel fixing
screws.
Remove the shim and check that the gap between the stretcher and the fixing system is no more than 5 mm at the front and rear.
