Introduction

Before operating this stretcher, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully
read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page.
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to en-
sure the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury
could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. If brakes do not hold proper-
ly, refer to your stretcher maintenance manual for a brake adjustment procedure.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the side-
rail spindles or injury could occur.
Keep fingers/hands clear of area around Fowler release handle and Fowler frame when lowering. Injury could
result if care is not taken when lowering the Fowler.
If the stretcher is equipped with the optional foot end IV pole, the IV pole must be in the raised position when
the foot extension/defibrillator tray is installed. If the IV pole is not raised, the foot extension will not function
properly and injury could occur.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
To avoid damage, do not put items weighing more than 30 pounds on the serving tray.
