Moving downwards
• The stretcher is lowered by depressing the short part of the
foot pedal (See figure 8).
• The stretcher lowers under the influence of gravity. The
lowering speed can be steadied by keeping the pedal
gently depressed.
• During the downward movement, maintain contact with
the client.
3.4. Tilting
• In order to remove water from the mattress during or after
showering, the bed base on the Marina can be tilted.
• Turn the lever on the upper frame, under the head end,
outwards in order to position the bed base in the drainage
position.
• This control can be found on both sides of the stretcher.
• Turn the lever inwards before restoring the bed base to its
horizontal position.
3.5. Water drainage
• Water is drained away from the Marina via a drainage hose.
• Take the hose off the hook and direct it to a drainage point that is as low as possible.
• During transport, always hang the hose on the hook otherwise it may leak and drip.
3.6. Charging batteries
(only for electrically adjustable versions)
• The Marina is an electrically driven high / low stretcher and
works on batteries.
• The charging point is located in the centre of the
undercarriage (See figure 10).
• If the batteries are almost completely empty of charge,
the orange light on the manual control will come on; this
means that the batteries need to be charged.
• If the LED is on continuous red, the batteries must be charged immediately.
The stretcher can then no longer be used.
• Connect the charger to the Marina (See figure 10).
• Once the charger is connected to the Marina, the controls will go into 'sleep' setting
(all functions are switched off).
