COMMISSIONING

For first use, check that:
• Packaging is intact and has protected the device during transportation
• Check that all parts included in the packing list are present
• General functionality of the device
• The medical vehicle is equipped with a Spencer fixing system dedicated to the stretcher
• The stretcher floor is properly levelled
• The stretcher floor is wide and long enough to accommodate the stretcher and its accessories without becoming an obstacle
• The wheel of the front leg is at least 5/6 cm from the ground during vehicle loading and unloading procedures in order to allow for the safe opening and locking of the
front leg 6.
• The fastenings must keep the stretcher attached to the structure of the vehicle
Do not modify the stretcher structural, leverage or traction parts in any way as this could cause damage to the patient and/or the rescuers.
Failure to take the above measures will preclude safe use of the device, resulting in risk of damage to the patient, operators and the device itself. .
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.
Incubator stretchers are available in various heights to be assessed before purchase in relation to the loading configuration on the vehicle.
NOTE: Please contact the manufacturer for installations requiring the use of accessories.
The type of stretcher should be chosen 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.
After checking that the stretcher in your possession is suitable for the intended vehicle, you can proceed, if necessary, with adjusting the coupling parts with the fixing system.

Stretchers intended for use with the Sensor Lock fixing system are equipped with a communication system with the fixing system installed on the fifth wheel of the stretcher.
Before putting into service, check that the unlocking system is working properly. In the event of a failure following the adjustments described above, it may be necessary to
adjust the positioning of this system by moving the magnet in order to restore proper function.
The positioning of this system must be evaluated on site and following the stretcher adjustments described above.
MEASURING OF THE LOADING FLOOR MUST BE CARRIED OUT AFTER HAVING SET THE AMBULANCE ON AN EVEN SURFACE WITH NO BUMPS AND/OR UNEVENNESS
AND AFTER ACCOMMODATING 2 (TWO) OPERATORS AT THE REAR OF THE SANITARY UNIT, WITH A SIMULATED LOAD OF UP TO 250 KG.
If the vehicle is equipped with pneumatic or hydraulic suspensions, the loading height must be adjusted taking into account the worst-case conditions and/or the working
conditions foreseen by the outfitter. Any problems regarding the use and/or safety risks associated with this system are not the responsibility of the manufacturer.

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 when accessories are retrofitted, when the stretcher and mounting system are ordered
separately 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 the fifth wheel holder.
Loosen the screws on the wheels mounted on either side of the fifth wheel holder in the same way.

ADJUSTMENT:

Push the stretcher so that it is flush with the front of the fixing system.
Push the stretcher assembly so that the fifth wheel coupling 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.
