(blue control) and insert the stretcher into the stretcher holder up to the rear wheels. At this

be supported, and so it will be necessary to hold it firmly with both hands.
Once the above process has been executed in full, the stretcher can be inserted
completely into the stretcher holder, until it is locked in place at the front and rear. The
Kartsana rails anchors the stretcher at the front by means of two anchoring points and one
