In the scope of emergency services, equipment reliability is essential. Stretchers are vital tools for the safe and efficient transport of patients. However, the durability of this equipment can be compromised if the use instructions are not properly followed, particularly regarding the handling of the wheels.
To ensure the integrity of the KARTSANA mechanical stretchers wheels and forks, it is recommended to follow the instructions provided in the user manual regarding intermediate positions.
The stretcher has intermediate positions at different heights with respect to the floor, as required. Among the main recommendations, the following are detailed:
- Hold the stretcher properly: To provide stability and control before making any movement with the stretcher, it is important that the user holds the stretcher firmly with both hands.
- Apply the front wheel brakes in the position shown on the label provided on the product, before using the mid-position lever.
- Locking the wheel rotation: The green locking mechanism can be used to lock or unlock the wheel rotation.
- Use the levers correctly: The stretcher is equipped with levers of different colors to facilitate handling. It is important to operate the orange or blue levers in the middle position to release the legs up to the mechanical stop.
- Tilting the stretcher safely: If you need to tilt the stretcher from the front or rear, operate the controls as described in the manual and on the product labels, making sure to activate the brakes on the front wheels in the correct position before proceeding with the maneuver.
Remember that investing time in understanding and following the instructions in the KARTSANA mechanical stretcher’s user manual not only protects your investment, but also contributes to the safety and well-being of all those who depend on its reliable operation in critical situations.
