·Always respect the maximum load capacity of the device, as indicated in this manual. The maximum
load capacity means the total weight distributed according to the human anatomy. When determi-
ning the load of the total weight on the product, the operator should consider the patient’s weight,
equipment and accessories. In addition, the operator must consider that the overall dimensions of the
patient do not reduce the functionality of the device.

·The device and all its components, after being washed, should be allowed to dry completely before
storage.
·Lubrication must be carried out after cleaning and complete drying.

·For techniques for loading particularly heavy patients, for rescue operations on steep ground or in
unusual circumstances, the presence of more operators is recommended (not only two, as required
under standard conditions).
·The maximum weight sustained by each rescuer must comply with the requirements prescribed by
the law of the country, related to health and safety at work.
·Before each use, check the integrity of the belts and their hooks, as specied in the manual. In case of
malfunction or any damage that may compromise the function and safety of the device, the patient or
the operator, it is necessary to replace the belts.
·Make sure the belts are tight to the chassis of a stretcher/chair.
·Always immobilize the patient, using the straps supplied by the manufacturer; the lack of immobiliza-
tion can cause serious damage.
·Use the emergency chair only as described in this manual.
·Do not alter or modify the emergency chair arbitrarily to make it t into the ambulance: the modi-
cation can cause unpredictable functioning and damage to the patient and operators. In any case the
guarantee will be lost.
·Pay close attention to possible obstacles (water, ice, debris, etc.) on the route of the stretcher/chair,
because they could cause loss of balance for the operator and compromise the proper functioning of
the device. If you cannot set the path free from obstacles, choose an alternative path.
·For height gradients, the device must be raised, taking care to grasp the structure and not from the
banks/platforms.
·Condensation, water, ice and accumulations of dust can aect the correct functioning of the device,
which makes it unpredictable and causes a sudden change in the weight that operators have to carry.
·The transport chairs are certied for use with Promeba fastening systems, therefore, the use of belts
not approved by the manufacturer is prohibited. Fastening systems that have not been approved can
alter the structural and functional characteristics of the chairs.
·Replace the wheels with original parts, in case of failure to stop the device.
