OPERATING THE TWO-STAGE PERMANENTLY ATTACHED I.V. POLE
Note: The two-stage permanently attached I.V. pole is an option and may have been installed at either the head, foot
or both ends of the stretcher. The choice was made at the time that the stretcher was purchased.
To use the two-stage permanently attached I.V. pole:
1.
Lift and pivot the pole from the storage position and push down until it is locked into the receptacle.
2.
To raise the height of the pole, pull up on the telescoping portion (A) until it locks into place at its fully raised
position.
3.
Rotate the I.V. hangers (B) to desired position and hang the I.V. bags.
4.
To lower the I.V. pole, turn the latch (C) until section (A) lowers.

CAUTION
• To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 lb.
• To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify that the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
• Do not use the I.V. pole as a push/pull device because equipment damage could occur.
