TRANSPORTING THE STRETCHER USING THE DRIVE WHEEL (CONTINUED)
Figure 4 - Drive Handles with Motion Release Switches
4 . Grasp the drive handles at the two raised grip areas . Squeeze either of the motion release switches (A) located
under the handles to enable the movement of the drive wheel as shown in Figure 4 and in the Drive Wheel Pedal
and Drive Handle Reference label . Either or both switches will enable movement but both switches must be released
to stop movement .
5 . While continuing to squeeze the switch(es), push the handles away from you or pull the handles toward you to
initiate motion in that direction . The speed of the drive wheel will increase proportionally to the amount of force
applied to the drive handles . When the desired speed is reached, the stretcher will maintain speed and direction
with no extra push force . To accelerate, push or pull the handles again until the desired speed is reached . Relax the
force to a "neutral" position to maintain speed .
6 . To slow down the motion of the stretcher, push or pull the handles in the opposite direction the stretcher is currently
moving .
7 . To stop motion, remove your hands from the switches
and the handles .
Note
The drive wheel does not pivot . The unit cannot be moved
directly sideways with the drive wheel engaged . With the
drive wheel pedal in the neutral position and the unit's
brakes released, the unit can be moved in any direction
including sideways .
To transport the stretcher without using the drive wheel,
put the pedal in the neutral position and put the "On/ Drive
- Off/Manual" switch in the Off position . This allows the
stretcher to be maneuvered with the assistance of the
Big Wheel but without power assistance from the ZOOM
®
WARNING
Do not attempt to push the unit manually with the drive wheel engaged and the "On/Drive - Off/Manual" switch in the
On position . The unit will be difficult to push and injury could result .
CAUTION
Always unplug the power cord and rotate the "On/Drive - Off/Manual" switch to the Off position before service or
cleaning .
