Using Powered Functions
When using any of the powered function positioning buttons, the button must be
pressed and held for the function to continue to move; when the button is released, the
function will stop. The following WARNING is applicable to all powered functions;
WARNING: Ensure there is nothing to impede the raising or lowering of the
patient platform, backrest, or KneeFlex as this could result in damage to the
equipment and/or injury to the patient.
31.
Using the Powered Height Adjustment
The height of the patient platform is adjusted by depressing, and holding, either the
raise or lower button (items 7 & 8, Fig. 15).
WARNING: When leaving patients unattended the stretcher should be fully
lowered to minimise any risk of injury should the patient fall off the stretcher.

Using the Powered Backrest Adjustment & Manual Over-ride Release Lever
The angle of the backrest is raised and lowered by depressing either the up or down
button (items 9 & 10, Fig. 15).
The backrest can be lowered quickly, in an emergency, by using the manual over-ride
release lever (item 1, Fig. 2). The manual over-ride release lever can also be used to
manually adjust the backrest angle.
CAUTION: When the backrest is raised the fold-away pushing handles can come
in close proximity to the patient’s head and care should be taken.

Using the Powered KneeFlex Adjustment
The KneeFlex is raised and lowered by depressing either the up or down button (items
11 & 12, Fig. 16).

the up or down button (items 13 & 14, Fig. 16).

Using the CPR Position Button
The CPR position button is used to simultaneously lower the patient platform, the
backrest, and, depending on the stretcher model, the KneeFlex function; all functions
will return to their lowest position.
