Safety Alerts

Only qualified personnel trained in the use 
of the folding chair should use it.

Securing the patient with restraints and 
never leaving the patient unattended are 
both essential for safety whenever a 
patient is seated on the chair.

Never exceed the maximum load capacity.

Establish regular inspection procedures 
and responsibilities to ensure proper 
maintenance as described in this manual

WARNING

2.1 Safety Alerts

Safety alerts identify potential hazards to avoid.  The following safety alerts appear in this manual.

Bleach, phenols and iodine can cause 
damage.  Do not apply products containing 
these chemicals to the chair.

CAUTION

Improper lubricants can cause damage.  
Use white lithium grease and 30-weight oil 
to lubricate the chair

CAUTION

In cases of cervical, spinal or some 
fracture injuries, use of the chair for patient 
transfer is not recommended.

Never leave the chair unsupported with a 
patient on-board as the chair is designed to

Improper maintenance can cause injury 
and unpredictable operation.  Maintain the 
chair only as described in this manual.

Improper parts and service can cause 
injury and damage.  Use only Ferno 
approved parts and service
