SAFETY TIPS AND GUIDELINES (ZOOMr OPTION)
In addition to the previous warnings and cautions, all of the following warnings and cautions apply to units
equipped with the Zoom option.
WARNING
The 3002 Patient Transport Frame is intended for use by trained hospital personnel only. Failure to prop-
erly train personnel could result in injury.
USE CAUTION while maneuvering the unit with the drive wheel activated. Always ensure there are no
obstacles near the unit while the drive wheel is activated. Injury to the patient, user or bystanders or dam-
age to the frame or surrounding equipment could occur if the unit collides with an obstacle.
Use caution when transporting the unit down halls, through doors, in and out of elevators, etc. Damage
to the siderails or other parts of the unit could occur if the unit comes in contact with walls or door frames.
Put the drive wheel in the neutral position and release the brakes before pushing the unit manually. Do
not attempt to push the unit manually with the drive wheel engaged. The unit will be difficult to push and
injury could result.
If unanticipated motion occurs, unplug the power cord from the wall socket, push the battery power on/off
switch to the ”OFF” position (the LED will not be illuminated) and actuate the drive wheel pedal to the
neutral position.
The power save mode is activated after one hour on battery power with no motion release switch activa-
tion. Functions including Bed Exit, scale and motion will cease to operate when the unit enters the power
save mode. Injury to the patient could occur if proper patient monitoring protocol is not observed.
Always unplug the power cord and push the battery power on/off switch to the “OFF” position before ser-
vice or cleaning. When working under the frame, always place blocks under the litter frame to prevent
injury in case the Bed Down switch is accidently activated.
Due to the weight the battery adds to the bed (approximately 50 pounds), additional force is required to
move the bed. Caution should be used when transporting this bed. Additional assistance should be used
when necessary. Failure to use caution while transporting this bed may result in injury to the user.
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.
Do not modify the 3002 Patient Transport Frame. Modifying the unit can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the unit will also void its warranty.
CAUTION
To avoid damage while transporting the bed, verify the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
The battery tray assembly weighs 50 pounds. Take care when removing the two hex head screws secur-
ing it to the base frame or personal injury could result.
