2.2.9.2.- Lever for front leg intermediate positioning
The red lever under the left stretcher handle accesses the intermediate positions
of the front legs, starting from the unfolded (upright) position.
Note: To return the front legs to their original unfolded position, activate the red
lever and then raise the front end of the stretcher manually so that the leg falls
automatically into place. Just before the leg reaches upright position, release
the lever so that when the leg reaches that position, the click can be heard,
indicating the leg is securely locked in place.
2.2.10.- Intermediate stretcher position, Trendelenburg & Counter-
Trendelenburg
The stretcher has three intermediate positions at different heights from the ground.
To ensure the safe treatment of the patient, the intermediate position should always
be activated by two people. In addition, the safety belts must be placed on the
patient and the rails raised before activating the intermediate positions.
To avoid dangerous unpredictable movements of the stretcher, be sure to hold on to
the handles firmly with both hands.
Either end of the stretcher can be brought to intermediate height using the
aforementioned controls.
1st position: Intermediate positon
It is achieved by activating the intermediate position lever (red) located on the right-hand
side of the stretcher. This releases the front legs down to a mechanical stop.
Then, by pressing and immediately releasing the orange handle, the back legs will fall into
first intermediate position.
To return the stretcher to upright position, slightly lift the strecher and using one foot
gently help the front legs to rise.
