5.3 Attaching and Removing
A Stretcher
The transporter is designed for use with many Ferno® stretchers and
stretcher chairs. See “Compatible Stretchers and Stretcher Chairs” on
page 7. The stretcher can be locked onto the transporter with the
patient’s head at either end of the transporter.
A stretcher locks onto the transporter when the strike pins on the bottom
of a stretcher engage the slam latches on the transporter (Figure 13).
ATTACHING THE STRETCHER
1. Lock the wheel locks to help hold the transporter stationary.
2.
Both Operatorse:
Lift the stretcher and position the stretcher
slightly toward the control end of the transporter (Figure 14).
Use additional help as needed to control the load (see Using
Additional Help, page 23).
3.
Both Operatorse:
Align the stretcher glides with the transporter
main frame and set the stretcher on the transporter main frame.
4.
Both Operatorse:
Roll the stretcher toward the loading end of
the transporter until the stretcher strike pins fully engage in the
transporter slam latches.
Notee:
As an alternative when the transporter is on flat, level floors or
ground, the Loading-end Operator may grasp the transporter main frame
and hold it steady as the Control Operator pushes the stretcher into the
slam latches.
5.
Control Operatore:
Verify that the stretcher is locked by
attempting to pull it toward the control end of the transporter.
If the locks have engaged, the stretcher will remain fixed on the
transporter. If the locks have not engaged, repeat Steps 2-4.
6.
Control Operatore:
Release the wheel locks before rolling the
transporter.
REMOVING THE STRETCHER
1.
Both Operatorse:
As the Control Operator pushes the yellow
stretcher-release handle on the transporter (Figure 15), both
operators move the stretcher slightly toward the control end of
the transporter to move the strike pins out of the slam latches.
2.
Control Operatore:
Let go of the stretcher-release handle when
the stretcher has cleared the strike pins.
3.
Both Operatorse:
Together, lift the stretcher off the transporter.
Use additional help as needed to control the load. See “Using
