Operation of the PTF1000 and PTF1000-31 5th Wheel Transport Stretcher
1. Height Adjustment
A. The Height Adjustment Mechanism pedals are located on both sides of the stretcher.
B. Raise the stretcher surface by depressing the height adjustment pedal downwards to the oor.
C. Each time the pedal is depressed, the stretcher will rise. For maximum patient comfort, use long smooth
strokes.
2. Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg Position Mechanism
A. The Trendelenburg mechanism allows ±18° of tilt movement
as shown in the first picture at right.
B. To obtain the Trendelenburg or reverse
Trendelenburg positions, rst raise the
stretcher from lowest position (pedal A).
C. Then depress pedal B (for head-down
Trendelenburg) or pedal C (for foot-down
Trendelenburg).
D. Horizontal level may be regained either
by lowering one end until the surface is
horizontal, or by activating the height
adjustment pedal A. This will raise the
stretcher surface to a tilt position until one
end reaches maximum height. Continued
depression of the height adjustment pedal
will then raise the other end to maximum
height.
D. Lower the stretcher by simultaneously depressing the two smaller pedals. The stretcher lowers itself as
long as both pedals are depressed, or until reaching lowest position.

cornering.
