SPECIFICATIONS
GENERAL
Health o meter’s ProPlus® Stretcher Scale Model 2000KL uses highly sophisticated
microprocessor technology. This scale is designed to provide accurate, reliable and repeatable
weight measurements and features that make the weighing process simple, fast and convenient.
The scale is set up to use motion-sensing weighing technology, to determine the actual weight
of a moving patient. The scale may be changed to measure live weight; see page 19 for
instructions on changing the scale setting.
The weight can be displayed in pounds (decimals, fractions of a lb or lb/oz) or in kilograms. The
scale features a folding stretcher for easy mobility and a display assembly stand.
The unit can be operated using its AC adapter or by 6-D cell batteries (not included).

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
Preweighing the Stretcher
1. Make sure the scale is free of load (nothing is hanging from it), including the stretcher.
2. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the scale on.
3. Wait until ”000Lb00oz” and “ZERO” on the left side of the display will appear. The
scale will remember the last amount that was tared, so if the weight of the stretcher
had previously been tared, the scale will display a negative weight when it is turned
on again.
Note: The ‘ZERO’ sign will show on the upper left side of the display only when the scale is free
of load, including the stretcher.
4. If the weight of the stretcher is known, enter the TARE value according to instructions in
the “Menu”, para 02. If the stretcher’s weight is unknown, place the stretcher only on the
scale; press REWEIGH. Enter the Automatic TARE by pressing the TARE button. Display
will read ”000Lb00oz”.
Note: Once the tare is set the “TARE” sign will appear in the upper right side of the display.
Placing Patient in Stretcher
1. After setting the stretcher’s weight as tare, take the stretcher off the lifter. The display will
now show a negative weight, equivalent to the weight of the stretcher.
2. Lay the stretcher on a bed or on any other stable surface you can use to lay the patient
you wish to weigh.
3. Carefully move the patient to a lying position on the stretcher.
Note: lay the patient’s center mass as close as you can to the center of the stretcher.
4. Wheel the lifter scale close to the stretcher and lower the boom with the hoops as far as 5-
10” (12 cm -25 cm) from the patient’s body.
5. Connect the four hanging loops of the stretcher to the four hooks at the end of each
Stretcher Hoop, making sure that the loops are hanging freely from the four hooks.
Note: Make sure both hooks connecting the load cell assembly beam lie on the lifter boom. If
only one of the hooks lies on the beam it can cause inaccurate readings of weight.
6. Tighten the hydraulic control valve knob by turning it clockwise. The control valve knob is
located on the Pump near the Pump handle.
7. Use the Base Adjustment Lever to widen the Lifter Base. The Base must be spread to the
widest possible position to maximize stability.
8. Pump the hydraulic Pump handle to lift the Stretcher and patient until the entire Stretcher
is hanging from the Stretcher Hoops and is not touching the bed or any other object. Do
not lock the Wheel on the Lifter Base. If needed, the Base will move slightly to adjust for
balance.
Caution: Never move patient away from bed or leave patient unattended.
Taking Weight Measurements
1. The scale will calculate the patient’s weight. Depending upon the movement of the
stretcher, the scale may take several seconds to lock into the weight. We recommend
reweighing after the patient is lying still on the stretcher by pressing the REWEIGH button.
2. After weight measurement is obtained and recorded, lower the Stretcher and the patient to
the bed. Open the hydraulic pump control valve knob by turning it counterclockwise very
slowly to control the descent.
3. Guide the patient and Stretcher down onto the bed.

12
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Release the hanging loops from the lifter.
Note: The scale is programmed to save the last setting chosen as well as the weight of the
stretcher as tare weight. This enables weighing a number of patients without having to re-
set the scale.
If a weight was added or reduced from the stretcher scale it is required to reset the tare
weight.
Note: To zero the scale by using the ZERO key, take the stretcher off the lifter before pressing
ZERO key. Replace the stretcher after zeroing.
5. Press ON/OFF key to turn scale off.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
02 TARE WEIGHT
NOTE:Due to the scale’s sensitivity, we recommend using the REWEIGH function prior to
setting the TARE weight, in order to eliminate any operator interference with the item to
be tared out.
There are two ways to manually enter a tare weight (such as the weight of a stretcher , shoes,
etc): press MENU (1) and select option 02-Tare Weight or press TARE (9). If there is no weight
on the scale platform (value displayed is zero and there is no tare) and the user presses the
TARE button (9), the Tare Weight window appears and prompts the user to enter the TARE
value and to press ENTER. NOTE: The tare weight must be entered using the following
increments: 4oz, 0.2lb, ¼lb. The value entered will display in minus (-). After the TARE has been
entered, the scale goes back to normal operation. This TARE value is stored in memory until
changed or cleared.
Important: The TARE weight cannot exceed 125 lb.
