OPERATING THE BASE CONTROLS - SIDE CONTROL
To operate the base controls, see Figure 2 to locate which pedals are used for what operation.
CAUTION
•
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.
•
Do not raise the unit (hydraulics on base) with a patient lift under the stretcher.
To raise the litter height
, pump pedal (A) repeatedly until the desired height is achieved.
To lower both ends of the litter together
, depress the center of pedal (B).
To lower only the head end of the litter
, depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the head end.
To lower only the foot end of the litter
, depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the foot end.
WARNING
•
Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight could cause
the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury.
•
Leave the stretcher height in the lowest position when the patient is left unattended. Leaving the stretcher height in
a raised position could increase the chance of patient falls and injury.
