TRANSPORT THE PATIENT
Transport Safety Information
WARNING:
Warning—To help prevent injury and/or equipment damage, obey these warnings when you transport
a patient in the bed:
•Warning—Properly store the power cord on the hook at the head-end of the bed.
• Warning—Do not transport a patient with the bed in the FullChair position, Chair Egress
position, or Dining Chair position.
• Warning—Do not push or pull the bed by the IV poles.
• Warning—Remove any drainage bags from the siderails for transport.
• Warning—During transport, use caution so the bed does not tip or overbalance. Generally, as
the load increases, the risk of instability goes up. Lower the bed height to increase stability.
• Warning—If the bed is stopped on a ramp, or a patient is left unattended, set the brake to
avoid unwanted bed movement.
• Warning—Significantly reduce the speed of travel when powering the IntelliDrive Transport
System when using freestanding patient attached equipment or traveling through doorways.
• Warning—Do not use the powered transport system if the bed moves forward or reverse
when one of these occur. Contact your facility-authorized maintenance person or Baxter
Technical Support.

– You apply pressure to one of the handles, but do not press one of the enable switches.
• Warning—A single person can transport the bed. To help prevent injury or equipment
damage, additional people may be needed for transport if the bed does not have the
IntelliDrive Transport System during these conditions:
– High weight is on the bed—greater than 250 lb (113 kg)
– Casters are not aligned with the direction of travel
– Floor is not level—inclines, declines, or lateral tilt
– Floor obstructions—thresholds, floor transitions, or gaps
– Floor is not hard—carpeting
To Install
