necessary.

Flammability

WARNING:

Patients should not be allowed to smoke in the stretcher. Sheets and pillows generally do not have flame retardant

properties. Personal injury or equipment damage could occur.

Reduce the possibility of fires by observing fire prevention rules and regulations. Make sure facility personnel follow the

safety tips in the FDA Public Health Notification: Safety Tips for Preventing Hospital Bed Fires.

Spray Washing

CAUTION:

Do not directly spray the hydraulic cylinders. Equipment damage could occur.

CAUTION:

Do not exceed 25 psi (172 kPa) when spray washing. Equipment damage could occur.

The stretcher can be spray washed as necessary. Use a maximum nozzle pressure of 25 psi (172 kPa) at a distance of 6”

(152 mm). Spray wash comprised of water only should not exceed a temperature of 180°F (82°C). Spray wash comprised

of detergent or solvents (no bleach) should not exceed a temperature of 120°F (50°C). After washing, seal any exposed

chipped steel parts, or oxidized areas with a coat of touch-up paint.
