BATTERY CHARGING AND OPERATION
The unit has two 12 volt batteries to provide power to the drive wheel. The drive wheel will not operate properly if the
batteries are not sufficiently charged. The batteries require approximately 6 hours of charging time when they are fully
discharged.
The batteries are charging whenever the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded, hospital grade power source.
When the unit is stationary, the power cord should be plugged into a power source whenever possible.
There is a battery power gauge at the head end of the litter (see Figure 2). The 7 LED’s illuminate individually to indicate
the level of battery power available. As the batteries are charging, the LED’s will flash in succession until all are flashing
(at 1 second intervals) to indicate the batteries are fully charged.
CAUTION
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.
