Ferno Model 50-E50-E Undercarriage
4.3 Quick Fix Lock
The Quick Fix lock is a system of hooks that secures the
stretcher top to the undercarriage. It is composed of:
• Undercarriage: 4 stationary hooks at the
head end (Figure 2)
• Stretcher top: 2 stationary foot-end hooks and
a lock bar with 2 hooks (Figure 3)
The six stationary hooks help hold the stretcher top on
the undercarriage. The lock bar secures the two
components together. Leave the lock bar disengaged
when the stretcher top is not on the undercarriage.
USING THE LOCK BAR
The lock bar is located under the stretcher top and has
two hooks that grasp the undercarriage main frame. It
is engaged by moving it across the undercarriage from
the patient left to the patient right.
