2. Checking the Model 11-T Stretcher

Before the start of each day it is recommended that the following checks be made:

1. Does the stretcher have securely installed restraints?

2. Check the cover for any damage; if any is found it must be replaced.

3. Ensure the leg posts and wheels fold out and lock in place.

4. Check that the hinge mechanism locks in place.

5. Check all castings and stretcher frame for cracks or damage.

6. Study this manual before use. Practice without any weight until totally competent

in using the stretcher.

Once these checks have been completed, then the stretcher is ready to use in regular

service.

SAFE WORKING LOAD

159 kg

This product must be regularly serviced and maintained to ensure satisfactory

operation.

We recommend that the stretcher is serviced at the same intervals as the vehicle.

Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables

the equipment to function at its optimum.

WARNING

Trapping hazards cannot be eliminated due to the operation of this product.

EXTRA CARE is to be taken whilst folding and unfolding the stretcher.

3. Operating Procedure

General Principles

All persons who will control the use of this stretcher must ensure that the following

procedures are complied with:

1. Control the stretcher at all times.

2. Keep the body secure using restraints.

3. Use help when needed to ensure operator safety.

Transferring onto a stretcher

Unfold the stretcher.

Ensure the stretcher fully unfolded and locked in place.

Place the stretcher beside the body and open the restraints.

Transfer the body onto the stretcher using recognised procedures.

Close the restraints around the body.

Make adjustments as necessary.

Use in a Vehicle

When a body is to be transported on the stretcher in a vehicle, both the deceased

patient and the stretcher should be placed on a trolley, the trolley restraints should be

fastened around the body and the stretcher to prevent movement in any direction, and

the trolley should be secured to the vehicle by means of an approved fastener.

However, if the patient/stretcher must be placed on the floor or squad bench,

provision must be made to contain movement under all transport conditions the

vehicle is designed to withstand. Post cups or other openings in the vehicle floor alone

are not enough to properly secure the stretcher. Additional devices to contain

movement of this type are the responsibility of the user of ambulance manufacturer to

design, test and install.

Unfolding and Folding the stretcher.

Unfolding:

The stretcher folds from end to end. Grasp the frame and fold/unfold as shown and unfold

the footrest. The stretcher will automatically lock into position.

The legs and wheels can be folded by pressing the lock button in, then folding the

leg/wheel inward until the lock button engages, locking the leg or wheel into position.

Folding:

To fold the stretcher for storage or transport, squeeze the two catches together in a

pinching action. The catches are located on the underside of the stretcher as shown in Figs

To Carry the stretcher over rough or uneven ground

Attendants should lift the stretcher by grasping the stretcher frame at the corners. One

attendant at each end can often carry the body and stretcher for short distances over level

surfaces. Extreme weight, long distance or rough terrain may increase the number of

attendants required for safe movement.

Restraints

Each stretcher is equipped with three restraint straps that should be used at all times. Each

strap has loops so that they can be easily attached to the stretcher frame. Buckle the straps

across the chest, thighs and ankles to secure the body.

Manoeuvring the stretcher

When manoeuvring the Model 11 stretcher on flat ground the track must be in the stowed

position. To stow the track press down the lever located on the underside of the stretcher

until the track is flat against the stretcher. (Fig 1)

To roll the stretcher, lift the stretcher until the wheels at the underside of the footend of

the stretcher are in contact with the ground. Whilst rolling the stretcher in this position,

always observe for any obstacles that may be on the ground. (Fig. 2)

Practice steering and moving the stretcher with a prior to putting the unit into operation.

Manoeuvring the stretcher down stairs

To open the track for decent down stairs, hold the stretcher upright and place your foot on

the bar of the track, push downwards until the track locks into place. (Fig. 3)

Place the stretcher at the top of the stairs with the track resting on the top step and slowly

descend the stairs in a controlled manner, keeping the track in contact with the stairs. (Figs

4, 5, 6) Ferno UK Ltd advises that two operators may be needed for heavy loads.

To turn the stretcher on a landing or at the bottom of the stairs lift the stretcher so it is

resting on the two wheels placed at the front of the footend of the stretcher. Holding on to

the frame of the stretcher you will now be able to turn the stretcher in the direction you

require in a confined space. (Figs 7, 8, 9). Continue with the transportation.

5. Cleaning and Lubrication

Cleaning

Regular cleaning helps reduce the risk of transmitting disease and enables equipment

to function at its optimum.

Steam cleaning with a suitable cleaning additive is the most effective method. The

same results may be achieved by using a sponge and mild detergent soap mixed in

warm water. For particularly grimy cases, especially if the stretcher has been in storage

for a long period, it may be necessary to first wash the stretcher with a solvent soaked

rag prior to using soap and water.

Once cleaned, dry the stretcher with a soft towel, paying particular attention to swivel

and sliding joints. If a compressed air hose is available, you may find that compressed

air jets are more effective in drying the hard-to-reach places. Once the stretcher is dry,

you may wish to apply a liquid car wax to polished surfaces.

Lubrication

Your Model 11-T Stretcher will work efficiently and safely only when it is well

lubricated. You MUST lubricate all moving and sliding parts after every inspection or

preventative maintenance programme, or if there is inadequate lubrication for the

moving parts to operate easily and quietly.

In general terms, almost all sliding and moving parts may be lubricated with a light duty

grease. A penetrating fluid lubrication is used on some sliding parts of the stretcher.

However, when a penetrating fluid lubricant is used, all excess MUST be wiped away, to

prevent any build-up of dust or grime that can clog up working parts and impede

movement.
