Operation:
Practice these procedures several times with a colleague playing the role of a fallen patient.
Ensure that any users are thoroughly familiar with the correct operation of the HFL
before
they use it to assist an actual patient.
Deploying the HFL:
1.
Remove the HFL from its stowed position on the emergency services apparatus and place it on
the ground.
2.
One at a time, remove the two outriggers (left and right) from their vertical stowed position by
grasping them firmly and lifting them upward (as indicated by the red arrow in the below
image). NOTE: The outriggers are held in the stowed position by a spring-ball mechanism
requiring slight pressure to be applied to remove them from or return them to their stowed
position.
Always ensure that the outriggers snap back into place when returning them to
their stowed position.
3.
One at a time, push the outriggers (left and right) into their operational position until the
spring-loaded retention knob locks.
Note: Ensure the black ‘feet’ are facing downward, as
shown in image three, below.
Always confirm the outriggers are locked by attempting to pull
them out.
4.
With one hand, pull the
seat’s spring
-loaded retention knob outward while using your other
hand to lower the seat. The spring-loaded retention knob will lock into place when the seat
has been fully lowered.
Note: The HFL-500-
E’s seat covers the outriggers when lowered to the
operational position.
5.
Optional: The HFLs for EMS were designed to be used as a dolly to carry the emergency
responder’s EM
S equipment or other cargo as necessary. This is accomplished by loading the
equipment/cargo
on the HFL’s seat and using the Up/Down Rocker Switch to raise the seat by
approximately 6-12
”
for a good balance (see Step 7 on page 10 for more details).
NOTE: Move the unit to the location of the patient by placing one foot on the back of the HFL and slightly
tilting the unit backwards by slowly pulling the handles towards you. The HFL can be pulled or pushed
to the location of the patient.
Note: Some manual doors dictate the need to pull the HFL through from
behind.
As you stop at the desired location, ensure there are no foreign objects beneath the
seat
before
tilting the unit back to the upright (operational) position.
