then use the other hand to guide the stand into the closed position. Perform the same manoeuvre on the opposite side.
Pull the red sleeve and push the joints down.
Grasp the upper part of the frames and screw them together.
Fasten the belt again.
Failure to follow the closing sequence could lead to blocking of the device.
During closing manoeuvres, make sure that the hands of other people who may be helping to keep the device stable are not within the handling area as they could be injured.
Stretcher positioning

EN
The Trendelenburg movement allows the stretcher to be tilted, thus raising the patient's lower limbs. Rotate the mechanisms on the stands approximately 180° so that they
are on the other side of the rest position. Lower the stands to the floor and place the stretcher with the patient's limbs at the highest point.
To avoid accidental falls, DO NOT ALLOW THE PATIENT TO GET ON OR OFF the stretcher when it is on the frame.
DE
The device can be moved by means of its wheels. During handling, the stands must be raised.
Handling must always be carried out by at least two operators capable of keeping the unit balanced.
10. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
FR
10.1 CLEANING
Failure to carry out the correct cleaning operations could increase the risk of cross-infection due to presence of body fluids and/or residues.
The operator must wear suitable personal protective equipment, such as gloves, goggles, etc. during all checking and cleaning operations.
ES
Clean the exposed parts with water and delicate soap. Never use solvents or stain removers.
Do not use cleaning agents containing chlorine / sodium hypochlorite as corrosion of components may occur.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, making sure you have removed all traces of soap, which may deteriorate or compromise conditions and durability. Avoid using high
pressure water, as it penetrates the joints and removes lubricant, creating the risk of corrosion on components. Let dry completely before storing. Drying after washing or after
PT
use in a wet environment must be natural and not forced. Do not use flames or other direct heat sources.
If disinfecting, use products that do not have a solvent or corrosive action on materials constituting the device. Be sure to take all precautions to ensure that there is no risk of
cross-infection or contamination of patients and operators.
10.2 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND PERIODIC OVERHAUL
Routine maintenance is the responsibility of the user, who must carry out checks before and after each use and in any case at least every 3 months:
• General functionality of the device
• Cleanliness of the device (remember that the failure of cleaning may cause the risk of cross infections)
• Fulfilment of the requirements of the instructions for use in section Warnings and Specific Warnings.
• Fulfilment of the requirements of the instructions for use in the section on Proper use.
No periodic overhaul is foreseen for the device.
10.3 LIFE SPAN
The device, if used as described in the following instructions, has a life span of 10 years from the date of purchase.
