DESCRIPTION Introduction The 540 and 545 Universal Procedures Stretcher is primarily used to support and transport patients in any treatment or procedures environment, and may be used for general examinations and procedures. The stretcher s litter top is hydraulically adjustable through use of a foot pedal. The table top is infinitely adjustable from a full horizontal table position to a full sitting position through the use of a pneumatic Fowler assist. Also the table top can be pneumatically adjusted into the Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg positions. Additional features and options are described below. Features Installation Description The Model 540 / 545 General Transport Stretcher has... a hydraulically adjustable table top height which can be adjusted from 60.3 cm (23.75 in.) to 85.7 cm (33.75 in.) through the use of a foot pedal. a pneumatic assisted Fowler backrest which can be easily adjusted from full flat (horizontal) position to a full sitting (+90 ) position. A crank Fowler or a manual Fowler is available as a factory option. an X-Ray Fowler (factory option) which accepts standard X-Ray cassettes. a pneumatic assisted table top which allows the table top to be easily adjusted into the Trendelenburg (+2 ) and Reverse Trendelenburg positions (-7 ). a braking and steering system which can be controlled from all four corners of the stretcher. The True Direction Steering system is standard; it has a steer caster, normally located on the patient s right foot end of the stretcher, which locks when steering is engaged, allowing the stretcher to be steered easily from the head end of the stretcher. The Rite Trac Steering system (5 th wheel) can be ordered from the factory; it has a 5 th wheel, located on the center column of the stretcher, which contacts the floor when steering is engaged, allowing the stretcher to be pivoted from its center for better steering / turning control. full length, tuck-away siderails which prevent finger pinching, allows closer access to the patient, and allows for a zero transfer gap for easier patient transfer. 5

13 True Direction Steering (Standard) A 2 HA WARNING Always engage steering when transporting patients to ensure control over the stretcher s path. Also, seek assistance when transporting a patient down a steep incline to prevent loss of control of stretcher. Failure to do so could result in personal injury to patient or staff or could result in equipment damage. NOTE The steer caster on a stretcher is the caster which is located on the patient s right side, foot end of the stretcher, unless specially ordered differently from the factory. To determine where the steer caster is located for your particular stretcher, depress the green end of the caster control pedal (steer position) and then move the stretcher around while observing the casters. One caster fork will lock while the remaining three will free wheel. The caster with the locked caster fork is the steer caster. 0 Engage steering by locking the right front steer caster (), as viewed from the head end of the stretcher, in the trailing position. To lock the steer caster in the trailing position, go to any corner of the chassis and position the caster control pedal (2) into the free (horizontal) position. Then, push the stretcher from the head end and move it forward approximately 30.5 cm (2 in.); this will put the steer caster in the trailing position. Now, depress the green end (A) of the caster control pedal until it remains approximately 45 below horizontal (steer posi-

14 tion). To steer, grasp the siderails from the head end of the stretcher and push. Rite Trac Steering - 5 th Wheel (Optional) A 2 HA WARNING Always engage steering when transporting patients to ensure control over the stretcher s path.
