Raising And Lowering Litter Height; Applying The Brake System; Operating The Steer Caster - Stryker Stretcher Chair Betriebsanleitung

WARNING
Patient entry, egress and transfer from the Model 5050 Stretcher Chair must always be done at the center
side locations with the siderail lowered. At no time should patients be allowed to enter or exit from the ends
of the Stretcher Chair, unless it is in the full chair position (back section up/foot section down). Improper entry,
egress or transfer may cause the Stretcher Chair to tip or become unstable which may result in patient injury.

RAISING AND LOWERING LITTER HEIGHT

NOTE
For user convenience, pump pedals and control pedals are located on both sides of the Stretcher Chair.
CAUTION
Be sure to move any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the Stretcher Chair height
or damage could occur to the equipment or the Stretcher Chair.
To raise the litter height, pump foot pedal (A) repeatedly until desired height is achieved. (See illustration,
page 1−3).
To lower the litter height, activate both pedals (B) and (C) using the same foot. Depress pedal (B) to lower
the head end only and depress pedal (C) to lower the foot end only of the Stretcher Chair. (See illustration,
page 1−3).
WARNING
To avoid risk of tipping resulting in patient injury, never leave the Stretcher Chair unattended in the horizontal
position. Always return the unit to the chair position when not in use. Warning labels are located at the head
and foot end of the Stretcher Chair frame stating: "DO NOT SIT ON END. TIPPING MAY OCCUR. KEEP
IN THE CHAIR POSITION WHEN NOT IN USE."

APPLYING THE BRAKE SYSTEM

To engage the brakes on the Stretcher Chair, push fully down on the side of pedal (D) closest to the head
end of the stretcher. (See illustration page 1−3).
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to en-
sure the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury
could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. If brakes do not hold proper-
ly, refer to your stretcher maintenance manual for a brake adjustment procedure.
NOTE
For user convenience, the Brake/Steer pedal is located on both sides of the Stretcher Chair.

OPERATING THE STEER CASTER

To engage the steer caster, push fully down on the side of pedal (D) closest to the foot end of the stretcher
(See illustration page 1−3). This will lock the steering caster (foot end, right). The Stretcher Chair will pivot
around it when cornering.
