FERNO/MAN/01/18/159/UK 14 Pegasus Trolley
Push/Pull Handles
The pull handles have a unique feature, which enables them to be locked securely
into the extended position. This enables them to be used as push/pull handles.
To operate this feature, unclip the push/pull handle extension from the securing clip
and fully extend the handle. Slide the knurled sleeves over the hinges to prevent the
handle folding up, enabling the push handle feature.
When folding the handles, pull and HOLD the knurled sleeves against the stops to
ensure the knurled sleeves are clear of the hinges, then fold the handle and push
into the securing clip.
The head end push/pull handle should be locked in place when not in use.
NOTE:- If knurled sleeves are not held clear of the hinge section during the
folding procedure damage may result to same.
Length Reduction Facility
A feature of the trolley is the capability of the head end of the trolley to fold down,
thus allowing the trolley to be adapted for different circumstances.
Additionally, the foot end of the top frame and tray on the PTS version of the
Pegasus will fold down, thus enabling the trolley to be used within a Patient
Transport Vehicle as either a normal trolley or as a seat base.
Head End Fold Down
The benefit of a shorter trolley using the head end fold section can only be achieved
with the trolley in the elevated position, the backrest in a partially raised.
Using the foot pedal raise the trolley to its maximum height.
Stand at the head end of the trolley and grasp the two knurled sleeves,
located one each side of the trolley frame.
Pull each knurled sleeve against the springs until the head end section can be
folded down.
Adjust the backrest angle to achieve the shortest length possible whilst
considering the comfort of the patient. Only leave the trolley in this
condition until sufficient space allows its return to normal length.
Always ensure that two operators are with a laden trolley at all times
IMPORTANT
When the push/pull handles are not in use then they should be locked in
their folded position.
