WARNING:
Fuses F1 and F3 protect the stretcher’s electrical system. For 120V AC
power, a 6.30A UL 198G time-lag fuse should be used. For 230V AC, a
2.50A IEC 127.3 time-lag fuse should be used. Check the assembly
drawing or schematic for the proper Hill-Rom fuse. Failure to use the
proper fuse could result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not touch the lamp inside the illuminator box immediately after use.
Allow a minimum of 30 minutes for the lamp to cool before replacing it.
Failure to do so could result in personal injury and equipment damage.
WARNING:
Insufficient tightening will allow the calf supports to slip and lose their
original position. Tighten the knob thoroughly. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury and equipment damage.
WARNING:
Insufficient tightening will allow the calf support cradles to slip and lose
their original position. Tighten the knob thoroughly. Failure to do so
could result in personal injury and equipment damage.
WARNING:
The telescoping calf supports are intended to be used in the prescribed
manner only. Failure to use this product as outlined could result in
personal injury and equipment damage.
WARNING:
With little or no weight on it, the back section could rise quickly. Ensure
that you fully control the lift of the back section. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury.
WARNING:
Ensure that the restraint procedures are done correctly, using the
Trauma Stretcher’s specific restraint locations. Failure to do so could
result in personal injury and equipment damage.
