OPERATING THE THREE-STAGE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED I.V. POLE
Note:
The three-stage permanently attached I.V. pole is an option and may have been installed at either the head,
foot or both ends of the stretcher. The choice was made at the time that the stretcher was purchased.
To use the three-stage permanently attached I.V. pole:
1. Lift and pivot the pole from the storage position and push down until it is locked into the receptacle.
2. To raise the height of the pole, pull up on the telescoping portion (A) until it locks into place at its fully raised
position.
3. For a higher I.V. pole, pull up on section (B). Release section (B) at any desired height and it will lock into place.
4. Rotate the I.V. hangers (C) to the desired position and hang the I.V. bags.
5. To lower the I.V. pole, push up on the red portion of grip (D) while holding onto section (B) until it lowers. Turn latch
(E) until section (A) lowers.
CAUTION
•
To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 12 lb. while the weight of any one item attached to
each stage of the three-stage permanently attached I.V. pole should not exceed 9.3 lb.
•
To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify that the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
•
Do not use the I.V. pole as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur.
