Using the Transporter

5.9 Carrying the Transporter
The transporter legs can be locked in the lowest or mid-bed position
so the operators can lift and carry the transporter over rough terrain or
obstacles. To carry the transporter:
1. Both Operatorse: Raise or lower the transporter to Bed Position 1
or Bed Position 3.
2.
Control-end Operatore:
Engage the leg lock by pulling the
blue leg lock lever toward the control end of the transporter
(Figure 23).
3.
Both Operators (and any helpers)e:
Grasp the main frame and lift
and carry the transporter (Figure 24).
To disengage the leg lock:
1. Both Operatorse: Set the transporter on the ground or flat surface.
2.
Control-end Operatore:
Disengage the leg lock by pushing the
blue lever toward the loading end of the transporter.
Notee: Do not engage the leg lock while the transporter is loaded in an
ambulance. Disengage the lock before loading the transporter into an
ambulance.
Notee: The transporter cannot be loaded into an ambulance in the folded
position. Set the transporter down, disengage the leg lock, and raise the
transporter fully. Then follow the standard loading process. See “Loading
the Transporter” on page 20.
Changing Positionse:
When the transporter is empty (no patient), one
operator can change the transporter height. To raise the transporter,
raise one end of the transporter, then the other.
To lower the transporter, squeeze the leg-control handle at one end of
the transporter and lower the transporter to the desired position (Figure
25), then move to the opposite end and repeat the process.
If equipment is on the transporter, raise or lower the transporter in
stages by adjusting the height only one or two positions at time. This
will help keep loose items from sliding off the transporter.
Loading/Unloadinge: If local protocols permit, an empty transporter
may be loaded into and unloaded from the ambulance by one trained
operator (Figure 26). Follow the procedures in “Loading the Transporter”
on page 20 and “Unloading the Transporter” on page 21.
