This stretcher is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against electric shock hazard. It must be
plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only when
a hospital grade receptacle is used.
Always apply the brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to ensure that 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.
Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight could cause
the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury.
Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height
in a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
If your unit is equipped with the optional electric lift/litter, unplug the power cord from the power outlet before
transporting or cleaning the unit. To unplug, grasp the mold near the outlet and pull the cord in a direction parallel
to the floor (not at an angle).
Make sure that the brakes are completely released before attempting to move the unit. Attempting to move the unit
with the brakes engaged could result in injury to the user and/or patient.
After raising the siderails, pull firmly on the siderail to ensure that it is securely locked into the up position. Siderails
are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device to keep patients from exiting the unit. Siderails are intended
to keep a patient from inadvertently rolling off the unit. It is the responsibility of the attending medical personnel
to determine the degree of restraint necessary to ensure that a patient will remain in place. Failure to utilize the
siderails properly could result in patient injury.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the siderail
spindles or injury could occur.
Powered stretcher mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate stretcher only with persons clear of mechanisms.
Operation of the fowler is a manual procedure. Use caution when raising the fowler while a patient is on the
stretcher. Use proper lifting techniques and get additional assistance, if necessary. Failure to use proper lifting
techniques could cause injury to the operator.
Keep hands/fingers clear of the area around the fowler release handle and the fowler frame when lowering the
fowler. Injury could result if care is not taken when lowering the fowler.
To avoid the risk of injury, ensure that the gatch prop rod is fully raised and securely placed into position.
Use caution when operating the gatch while a patient is on the stretcher. Powered stretcher mechanisms can
cause serious injury. Operate stretcher only with persons clear of mechanisms.
Use caution when operating the recovery chair while a patient is on the stretcher. Powered stretcher mechanisms
can cause serious injury. Operate stretcher only with persons clear of mechanisms.
To avoid patient injury or equipment damage, all lines from any equipment stored on the pump rack must be
diverted away from the gatch handles.
To avoid patient injury or equipment damage, do not lift the stretcher by the pump rack.
To avoid equipment damage, remove any equipment from the pump rack that may be in the way before lowering
