To transfer a patient from the stretcher to a bed
1
Depress the center wheel locking pedal of the
stretcher to switch it OFF, place the stretcher by the
bed, and lock the casters by pressing down the caster
lock pedal (red) (see p. 10 to 11).
2
Align the height of the stretcher to the height of the
bed by operating the height adjusting handle and
place the transfer board over the bed (see p. 12
and 14).
NOTE!

Set the bed slightly lower than the
stretcher for easier transfer.
WARNING

When placing the stretcher by a bed, prevent the transfer board or transfer
board receptacle of the stretcher from sitting on the side rail (foldable type)
of the bed. Otherwise, the stretcher may tip over, resulting in an injury or the
side rail of the bed or the transfer board may get damaged or deformed.

3
Unfasten the restraint belts from the patient and place
them in an area where they will not hinder the transfer
procedure. Grab the handles of the transfer mattress
and transfer the patient onto the bed by slowly pulling
the mattress.
4
After transferring the patient,
1
Fold the side part of
the transfer mattress that is further from the stretcher
on the down side.
2
Roll the patient over in the same
direction.
3
Pull out the transfer mattress toward the
stretcher.
NOTE!

z
Fold the handles under the transfer
mattress completely. If a small part of
a handle is protruding, it gets caught
under the patient’s body and the
transfer mattress cannot be pulled out
smoothly.
5
Lay the patient on their back.
6
Place the transfer mattress on the stretcher, return the
restraint belts to the original position, raise the transfer
board, and unlock the casters to move the stretcher.
When moving the stretcher, raise the center wheel
locking pedal to switch it ON for more stable stretcher
movement and easier control (see p. 11).
