02.3 Residual risk
The residual risks listed below have been identified exclusively in reference to the intended use of the
device.
·
The electro-valves temperature can reach high values (about 70°C). In case of maintenance, use appro-
priate Individual Protection Devices such as gloves. It is however suggested to wait for the cooling of
such components.
·
Do not place body parts under the stretcher support; this may cause crushing risks when the stretcher
support is moved. Never put your feet or hands under the device
·
Installation carried out by untrained personnel, could result in inadequate fastening of the device
inside the vehicle, with consequent risks related to its instability or mobility.
·
The connection to a power source with improper voltage, or other than described in this manual, can
make the device not usable or cause serious injuries.
·
The device is not for continuous operation. Repeated operation of controls, not consistent with nor-
mal usage practices, may damage the device and may impair its normal operation causing the impossi-
bility to use the device when needed. Always respect the duty cycle described in following paragraphs.
·
Loading of the stretcher on the stretcher support, especially if the device is in tilted position, could
need great effort from the operator, resulting in injuries. Pay attention during loading and unloading of
the stretcher and, in case of heavy weight, consider that at least 2 operators are required.
·
Crushing injuries could arise from sideways or extraction movements of the stretcher support. Always
ensure that nothing interferes with the stretcher support before moving it
·
The operation of any movement of the device when the vehicle is running, could result in extremely
violent movements in case the vehicle has an impact. It is recommended to make the adjustments only
when the vehicle is not moving
