6.11 Handling the sides
WARNING! Always notify the patient before making any adjustments.
ATTENTION! Before carrying out any manoeuvre, make sure that the brake is
engaged.
The stretcher is equipped with collapsible side rails intended to restrain the patient, reducing
the risk of accidental falls. The sides can be easily manoeuvred up or down to allow easy
ascent onto/descent from the stretcher.
To
lower the side rails
, proceed as follows;
▪
make sure that the stretcher brake is engaged (see page 17 of this manual);
▪
move to the side of the stretcher;
▪
with one hand, pull the side release lever (
20
) and with the other accompany the side (
10
)
as it descends;
▪
if necessary, repeat the operations for the other side.
To
raise the side rails
proceed as follows:
WARNING! Do not place hands or objects between the bed surface and the sides.
WARNING! Do not release the side if unsure of the perfect locking by the
mechanism.
▪
lift the side (
10
) completely: an automatic mechanism locks the side in position.
