The personal safety of the patient or user may be involved. Disregarding this information could result in injury

These instructions point out special procedures or precautions that must be followed to avoid damaging the

This provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions clearer.
WARNING
Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight will cause
the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury.

sure the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury
could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher.
