HOW TO ADJUST THE LENGTH
In order to adjust the stretcher length, proceed as follows:
1. Release the locking levers, on both sides of the stretcher,
by placing them facing upwards (Figure 2).
2. Pull the foot section out to the desired length. The
stretcher can be locked in 4 different lengths at the holes of
the tubular element of the foot section (Figure 3A, 3B, 3C,
3D). During adjustment, it is recommended to keep the two
parts that make up the stretcher hooked together.
3. Once the desired length has been reached, lock the levers
on both sides of the stretcher, positioning them facing
downwards (Figure 4). An audible “clack” is emitted at the
correct locking.
4.Ensure that the adjustment has been carried out correctly
and that the stretcher length is appropriately adapted to the
patient's height.
5. Before performing any operation with the stretcher,
make sure that the levers are locked (Figure 4) and that the
stretcher is correctly adjusted to the desired position.
After having properly adjusted the stretcher length, check
that the levers are properly locked. To check for correct
locking, check that the levers are pointing downwards, then
pull the foot section. If the section does not extend, the
levers are locked correctly and the stretcher is locked in the
chosen position.
4  CONFIGURATION OF THE STRETCHER
4.1 Length adjustment
The ScoopEXL stretcher is adjustable in length (4 positions).
This adjustment allows the stretcher to be adapted to the
patient's height.
When preparing the stretcher, adjust its length properly, so
that it ts correctly to the patient's height.

4.2 Twin Safety Lock (TSL) System
The stretcher is equipped with two Twin Safety Lock (TSL)
systems, which allow the stretcher to be opened and closed
longitudinally by dividing it into two equal halves (Figure
5).
The two TSL systems are positioned at both ends of the
stretcher (head end and foot end) and each has two buttons
for opening the stretcher.
Figure 5 - Twin Safety Lock (TSL) System
HOW TO OPEN THE STRETCHER
Each TSL consists of two buttons (Figure 5).
In order to open the stretcher, proceed as follows:
1. Grab the head end lifting handles with both hands.
2. Press the two buttons of the TSL system simultaneously
and open the stretcher by separating the two parts (Figure
6). This will separate the two longitudinal parts that make
up the stretcher (Figure 7).
3. Carry out the same operations to open the stretcher at the
foot end Figure 6 - Stretcher opening via TSL
Figure 7 - Open TSL
Buttons
HOW TO CLOSE THE STRETCHER
1. Grab the head end lifting handles with both hands.
2. Close the two ends of the TSL so that the stretcher is
locked. To close it, it is not necessary to press the buttons.
3. Carry out the same operations for the foot end.
4. Check the correct locking of the TSL system. To check the
tightness of the system, grab the handles and try to separate
the two parts that make up the TSL, without pressing the
buttons. If the two parts of the TSL do not separate, they are
correctly locked and the stretcher is closed.

patient's jugulum with the small side holes (Figure 17). Take
care when doing this as it enables the patient to be correctly
positioned on the stretcher.
Figure 17 - Patient's jugulum alignment
6. The two operators, placed respectively at the foot end and
head end of the stretcher, open the stretcher by pressing the
buttons of the TSL system, thereby separating the two parts
of the stretcher longitudinally (Figures 18).

7. Position the two longitudinal parts under the patient,
starting with the head end. If the patient is uncooperative, a
third operator should hold the patient's head.
8. Close the head end rst via the TSL, making sure that the
head immobiliser has been positioned correctly (Figure 19).

While the rst operator (head end) maintains control of the patient's head, the second operator completes the procedure for
setting the patient onto the stretcher and closes the foot end via the TSL (Figure 20 and 21).

TWOPIECE RESTRAINTS WITH SNAP
HOOK
CODE: 0314122
Once the patient is positioned on the ScoopEXL, proceed
with the application of the two-piece restraints. 4 restraints
are recommended:
• 2 chest restraints, applied in a criss-cross
conguration.
• 1 leg restraint, applied in transverse conguration.
• 1 foot restraint, applied in 8-shaped conguration.
Important
Snap-hook restraints are the most recommended
restraint system for use with the ScoopEXL stretcher
with pin.
WARNING
The operator on the head end of the stretcher must
always have contact with the patient and check that
the alignment is correct

CHEST RESTRAINTS
1. Hook the snap-hook of the rst chest restraint onto
pin 9 (patient's right side). Pass the restraint over the
shoulder and chest of the patient, hooking the second
snap-hook onto pin 4 on the opposite side (patient's left
side). Depending on the patient’s height, the restraint
can be hooked onto pin 3 or 4.
2. Hook the snap-hook of the second chest restraint onto
pin 2 (patient's left side). Pass the restraint over the
shoulder and chest of the patient, hooking the second
snap-hook onto pin 7 (Figure 24) on the opposite
side (patient's right side). Depending on the patient’s
height, the restraint can be hooked onto pin 7 or 8.
3. Properly adjust the restraint tension so that there is
no particular constraint to the patient (Figure 25).
