This stretcher is not intended for pediatric use or for patients under 50 pounds. This stretcher is intended for use by •
trained hospital personnel only.
The Model 1025 Stretcher is equipped with a hospital grade plug for protection against electric shock hazard. It •
must be plugged directly into a properly grounded three-prong receptacle. Grounding reliability can be achieved only
when a hospital grade receptacle is used. Be sure to move any equipment that may be in the way before raising or
lowering the litter height.
Be sure to remove any equipment that may be in the way before lowering the stretcher.•
Remove the batteries if the equipment is placed in storage or will remain idle for an extended period of time. Each •
battery weighs 25 pounds. To avoid personal injury, use caution when removing the two batteries.
Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known to the State •
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling. Properly
dispose of batteries when required.
Do not engage the pedal when the drive wheel is resting on a threshold or other raised area. The force required to •
engage the drive wheel will be higher than normal, possibly causing damage.

power source and rotate the “On/Drive - Off/Manual” switch to the Off position. Remove the patient from the unit
and clean up the fluid. Have maintenance completely check the unit. Fluids can short out controls and may cause
the unit to operate erratically or make some functions completely inoperable. Component failure caused by fluids
could even cause the unit to operate unpredictably and could cause injury to the patient. Do not put the unit back
into service until it is completely dry and has been thoroughly tested for safe operation.
