Getting Started
WARNING:
Only facility-authorized maintenance personnel should troubleshoot the
TranStar® Series Stretcher. Troubleshooting by unauthorized
personnel could result in personal injury and equipment damage.
Begin each procedure in this chapter with step 1. Follow the sequence outlined
(each step assumes the previous steps are correct). Each step is the normal
operational event of the product and can be confirmed by answering Y (yes) or
N (no) to the statement. Your response will lead to another step in the
procedure, a repair analysis procedure (RAP), or a component replacement. If
more than one component is listed, replace them in the order given.
Start with
Initial Actions
to begin gathering information about the problem.
Perform the
Function Checks
to isolate or identify a problem and to verify
repair after completing each corrective action (replacing or adjusting a part,
seating a connector, etc.).
Perform
Final Actions
after the Function Checks to verify the repair.
If troubleshooting procedures do not isolate the problem, call Hill-Rom
Technical Support at (800) 445-3720 for assistance.
