7.3 Additional help
The chair should be used by a minimum of two duly trained
operators.
Ferno recommends that operators and assistants take
opposite sides, with one facing the other, and that an
operator assists during patient's handling. Follow applicable
chair transport regulations.
The operators must maintain control of the chair and
coordinate properly. The illustrations below show the
correct positioning of operators and assistants.
WARNING
Failure to use the restraints can cause the patients
to fall and endanger their safety.
Always use restraints to secure the patient to the chair.
WARNING
Using the chair with the seat not correctly locked
may cause damage and/or injury. Make sure that it
is properly locked before transporting the patient.
WARNING
DO NOT USE RESTRAINTS UNSUITABLE TO SECURE
THE PATIENT
