Operation of the PT1001 General Transport Stretcher
1. Height Adjustment
A. The Height Adjustment Mechanism pedals are located on both sides of the stretcher.
B.
Raise the stretcher surface by depressing the height adjustment pedal downwards to the floor.
C. Each time the pedal is depressed, the stretcher will rise. For maximum patient comfort, use long smooth
strokes.
2. Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg Position Mechanism
A. The Trendelenburg mechanism allows ±18° of tilt movement
as shown in the first picture at right.
B. To obtain the Trendelenburg or reverse
Trendelenburg positions, first raise the stretcher from
lowest position (pedal A).
C. Then depress pedal B (for head-down
Trendelenburg) or pedal C (for foot-down
Trendelenburg).
D. Horizontal level may be regained either by
lowering one end until the surface is horizontal, or
by activating the height adjustment pedal A. This
will raise the stretcher surface to a tilt position until
one end reaches maximum height. Continued
depression of the height adjustment pedal will then
raise the other end to maximum height.
D. Lower the stretcher by simultaneously depressing the two smaller pedals. The stretcher lowers itself as
long as both pedals are depressed, or until reaching lowest position.
