6. OPERATION
6.1 ELECTRIC CONTROLS
WARNING: Ensure there is no risk of crushing or entrapment to the patient, other personnel, stretcher components,
or other objects when using the stretcher. Do not position the stretcher under any object.
WARNING: If the patient suffers from disorientation, depression or similar then leave the mattress platform flat
and lock out all electric functions.
WARNING: Lock out tilt and hi/lo functions and any other function you do not wish the patient to have access to
when the patient has access to the handset.
CAUTION: Do not operate the stretcher controls for more than 2 minutes over a 20 minute period (i.e. do not
exceed the mode/duty cycle).
Handsets are intended to be used by trained health professionals and patients who have been instructed on safe
and proper use.
Stretcher adjustments are powered by four electric actuators. The actuators power the following functions:
1. Backrest
2. Deck height
3. Legraise
4. Deck tilt
5. Auto-contour function
The actuators are controlled by buttons on the handset. Each function has a lock out feature (see 6.2.6 Lock Out
Function).
6.1.1 HANDSET LOCATION
The handset is permanently attached to the head end of the deck through a flexible coiled cable. It can be handheld
or positioned at either side of the stretcher for easy access by the patient or caregiver. The handset can be stored
on a siderail or top rail.
6.1.2 BUTTON OPERATION
PLEASE USE SAME COLORS AND GRADIENTS AS ELRM9702
Adjustment occurs only when a button is pressed. Adjustment will stop when the button is released or when the
moving stretcher section reaches the end of its adjustment.
