trolley must be positioned horizontally to avoid patient
movement. The height of the platform is not relevant but it
is preferable to keep a height that gives the operator
comfort while pushing the stretcher but that does not
affect the visibility of the path.
Parking brakes must be activated when
transferring patient from the bed onto stretcher
and when washing the patient
The directional lock does not act as a brake, to
brake the trolley use the parking brake
Do not push the trolley sideways when the
directional lock is on
7.2.8.1 CENTRALIZED BRAKES
On the models with centralized brakes, the castor brakes or
the directional lock are applied simultaneously to the most
near wheels. With the pedal in horizontal position, the brake
is disengaged and the four castors can roll and swivel freely
in all directions.
By pushing with the foot the pedal downwards on the outer
side, pointed out by a red dot, the two most near castors
lock simultaneously for all directions.
To lock all 4 wheels, it is necessary to act on the brake both
on the foot side and on the head side of the shower trolley.
By pushing downwards the pedal on the inner side, pointed
out by a green dot, the wheels on that side is prepared to
lock in the direction of travel.
By pushing the stretcher from the head side, the wheel is
automatically positioned and locked on the straight

15
direction. With the inserted directional block, it is easier to
proceed in a straight line. To disengage the brake or
directional lock is necessary to put back the lever in
horizontal position.
7.2.8.2 INDIVIDUAL BRAKES
On the models with individual brakes, each wheel has its
own brake, except for one wheel that has the directional
lock. To insert the brake, push downwards with the foot the
red lever down on the outermost part. The same operation
is valid for directional lock: push downward the green lever.
To disengage the brake push the red lever downwards on
the innermost part. The same for the green lever to
disengage the directional lock.
7.2.8.3 TRANSPORT
Move the trolley by holding the foot end rail or the head
end rail after releasing all the brakes.
To go through 80 cm-wide doorways, pull the side rails
inwards while passing through the door: they will go back
to their original position when released.
Do not push the trolley sideways when the
directional lock is on.
During patient transport the side rails must be
closed and the patient must lie down. The
platform must be as planar as possible.
Transport can be done only manually, DON’T
use motor vehicles
7.2.9 TRANSFER THE PATIENT
To transfer the patient from bed to the trolley and vice
versa, is possible to use a suitable harness or is possible to
use the rolling technique. In the latter case, open one side
rail of the bed and open one side rail of the shower trolley
in order to get the head side of the trolley aligned with the
head side of the bed. Get as close as possible to that side
of the bed with the open side of the shower trolley.
Adjust the trolley height so that the height of the platform is
at the same level of the bed mattress. Help the patient to
lay on the opposite side of the bed. Activate the brakes.
Help patient to roll onto the stretcher mattress.
Complete the transfer and unlock the wheels to step away
from the bedside so you can close the side rail. Special
transfer sheets that reduce friction between surfaces can
be used to improve transfer comfort.
7.2.10 WASHING
When the washing location is reached, the park brake
should be engaged as soon as possible.
7.2.10.1 PREPARE THE DRAINAGE
The hose attached to the mattress will drain the water
during the patient washing, so before proceeding, make
sure the hose is not obstructed. Place the hose end in the
floor drain or toilet and open or remove completely the
plug.
Remove completely or open the plug to avoid
water accumulation and avoid the creation of
an hazardous situation for the patient.

16
An excessive water volume would lead to
aggravate the permitted load of the trolley
and could drown the patient.
Brake the wheels to avoid the movements of
the stretch during the washing
7.2.10.2 WASH
Before washing, make sure that the plug is open or
removed, that the wheels are braked. During washing, the
shower trolley must be positioned horizontally to avoid
patient movements or water accumulations. The height of
the platform is not relevant but it is preferable to keep a
height that gives the operator a comfort during the
washing operations. The side rails must be closed and
locked.
Do not use water hotter than 40° C.
Do not use pressurized water jets.
Do not direct any water jets at electrical parts
Remember that the Shower Trolley safe
working load (SWL) don’t include any water
that is retained within the mattress’s splash
sides. Each cm of water will result in about
10kg or more of weight in excess.
7.2.10.3 END OF WASH AND EXCESS WATER DRAINAGE
At the end of the shower is possible to remove water
excess. The shower trolleys has the tiltable platform so that
water can easily run off. Refer to chapter 7.2.4 to activate
platform tilt. Once all the water has come down from the
drain hose is possible to proceed to replace the plug, close
it, and put the tube in the transport position.
7.2.11 BATTERY REPLACING AND CHARGING
Battery charge status can be always monitored trough the
battery indicator present on the control box. Each vertical
rectangle is a charge level of 25%. So The charge level will
go from 100% to 0% by passing 4 step:
100% 75% 50% 25%
When the charge level is 25%, a plug icon is showed to warn
the user to charge battery. When charge level is 0%, a STOP
text is showed and no more operation is possible.
To remove battery, pull the release handle and slide to left.
Use both hands to remove the battery since is quite heavy.
Replace the battery preferably when the
patient is not in the nearby.
Do not touch the contacts of the battery
or battery chargers and the patient or
any other accessible parts
Do not immerse the battery in liquids, do
not invest the electrical parts with direct
water jets
Put the battery on the provided wall battery charger and
let battery to fully charge (about 8 hours).
When the orange led turn off, the battery is fully charged.
Then remove battery and put it back on the control box. To
ensure that the shower trolley is fully operational at all times,
we recommend purchasing a spare battery.
The battery charger is designed to automatically adapt to
voltage and frequencies between 100-240V~/ 50-60Hz and
is provided with an automatic safety charge limiter.
Batteries do not require any other maintenance.
