Lifting
The lifting/lowering movement is performed by an actuator
driven by an electric motor.

• Arrow pointing upwards, for raising Miranti.
• Arrow pointing downwards, for lowering Miranti.
• Dark red brake symbol, for activating the brake, indi-
cated by flashing light.

resident falling to the side and the patient security grip,
which the resident can hold, are integrated in a hinged bar.

• Hold the sideguard with one hand and the security grip
with the other (2) .
• First lower the security grip away from the residents
head, then you can position the sideguard.

Powered backrest
Both ends of the stretcher can be used as a backrest and can
be raised and lowered by an electric motor via the handset.
The rope, which guides the backrest has to be fixed to the
selected side of the stretcher (backrest) either before or
when the resident has entered the stretcher.
• Attach the hookrope to the button head on
the stretcher (3) .
• See that the tap in the hole fits the notch in
the button (4A) .

• Turn the hook upwards and the rope is fixed (4B) .
• Doublecheck the hook fixation.
Thigh-support cushion
The support cushion (5) must be placed under the thighs of
the resident for comfort during transport and bath.
The elastic part of the cushion should be against the resi-
dent’s posterior. Place the cushion with the guide pins in the
holes.
Headrest
The headrest (6) can easily be moved to the selected back-
rest side and adjusted to the resident’s height.

Power drive (optional)
An electric motor and a fifth wheel (A) are the powered
drive (1). The wheel is maneuvered via a button on the right
side of the transport handle from either end (B).
The Miranti can only move forwards.
The wheel is spring-mounted so it can handle different floor
levels e.g. thresholds and draining gutters, (difference
in floor level ~ 10mm).
How to drive
• Activate the drive by pressing the button on the transport
handle (B).
• The fifth wheel is lowered and the drive starts after a few
seconds.
• The drive continues for as long as the button is pressed.
• When you have released the button, the fifth wheel
remains lowered for 4 seconds with the drive inactivated.
During these 4 seconds it is very easy to turn trans-
versely or backwards because the wheel works as a steer-
ing wheel. Push the button again to drive on.
Driving with precision
For better control of turning and manoeuvring in narrow
passages - release and push the button at short intervals.
Study the accompanying DVD.
Manual drive
• Grip the transport handles (2A).
• Move the Miranti forwards.
NOTE
The power drive can not be used when the brakes
are activated.
NOTE
