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
• Product cleanliness
• Absence of cuts, holes, tears or abrasions on the entire device
• Verify that the spring catches close and snap closed correctly.
See paragraph 11 for how to carry out the above-mentioned checks.
Do not modify the device or its parts for any reason as this could cause damage to the patient and/or 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.
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.

See paragraph 11 - Proper use for operating characteristics.

11. PROPER USE

See paragraph 11 - Proper use for operating characteristics.

11.1 USING THE STX 519 SYSTEM

• Fasten the spring catches to the corresponding provided points on the basket stretcher, taking care to apply the belts of the same colour on the same side (head or feet).
Make sure that the spring catches are attached correctly before lifting.
Never apply different colour belts on the same side (head or feet), as the stretcher would incline abnormally, generating dangers.
This harness is equipped with an adjustment system that lets you vary the length of each of the upper belts, thus influencing the length of the pairs of belts on Side A and Side B.
Grip one of the two primary belts on
the section where adjustment can
be made.
• Adjust the length of the belts as described above so that the stretcher is horizontal when lifted.
• Use the ring at the top of the system to attach the winch to lift the stretcher.
• Make sure the belts and spring catches do not interfere with the patient or other devices in use.

11.2 USING THE STX 540 SYSTEM

• Fasten the four loop bands to the appropriate points on the basket stretcher. Make sure that the loop bands are attached correctly before lifting.
• The bands are in pairs in different sizes to compensate for stretcher balance and to keep it horizontal when lifted. If the basket is not equally balanced, redistribute the
weight inside the stretcher.
• With the spring catch in use, join the opposite ends not connected to the basket and use it to lift the stretcher.
• Make sure the belts and spring catches do not interfere with the patient or other devices in use.

11.3 USING THE STX 519 SYSTEM FOR DRAGGING

• Fasten the two spring catches to the appropriate points on the head side of the basket stretcher. Make sure that the spring catches are attached correctly before towing.
• Use the two belt grips at the end of the system to tow the stretcher.
• Make sure the belts and spring catches do not interfere with the patient or other devices in use.
ANCHORAGE POINTS FOR LIFTING HARNESSES AND ROPES
• Basket stretchers are equipped with 4 grommets or 4 slots for horizontal lifting and lowering that provide the anchorage points for the harnesses with their spring catches.
