they function properly.

floor at the same time.

sure the brakes will stop the stretcher.

soap and water solution to remove any debris
that may have accumulated during shipping.

stacked on top of each other in storage.
4. Stretchers that are stored and not uncrated,
MUST not be double-stacked in storage.
Preparation for Use
1. Remove the mattress from the large plastic
bag. The head-end of the mattress has large
diagonal corners and should be placed over
the short end of the table.
2. The bottom of the mattress has two adhesive
strips. Remove the protective backing, turn
the mattress over and press it into place. This
will keep the mattress from making any
unwanted movement.
3. Find and unwrap the IV Pole laying in the
bottom tray of the stretcher.
4. Install IV Pole onto the stretcher. The IV Pole
can be installed into any of four locations and
is held securely in place.
