WARNING
The age, size and condition of the patient should be assessed
by a competent clinically qualified person before using the
trolley, giving particular consideration to appropriate use of
the safety sides.
Do not use accessories that are not designed or approved for
use with the trolley.
Always apply the brakes when the trolley is stationary.
Raise the safety sides before moving the trolley with a patient.
Children and restless or disorientated patients should not be
left unattended at any time.
Before turning (rolling) a patient on the trolley or performing a
lateral transfer, adjust the mattress platform to a comfortable

the patient’s weight is not evenly distributed across the
mattress platform.
