OPERATION
03.3.4 UNLOADING THE STRETCHER FROM THE AMBULANCE
During the download operation:
1. Unlock the stretcher from its fixation system.
2. Hold the stretcher by the rear telescopic handles and gently pull it out of the ambulance.
3. Hold the stretcher until the rear legs open and lock automatically.
4. Before removing the attack wheels from the platform (safe position), make sure that the front and rear
legs have been opened and locked correctly and that the ground is stable and safe.
ATTENTION: When setting the loading height, the vehicle is considered to be on levelled
ground. If this condition is not met when unloading the stretcher, its operation could vary
slightly from what was expected.
In this case, pay special attention that the front and rear legs are fully open and locked
before removing the attack wheels from the platform.
3.3.5 INTERMEDIATE POSITIONS
The Promeba stretcher offers up to 12 different heights, making easier the transfer of a patient from the
stretcher to a bed and back, optimizing the loading procedures with elder or handicapped people.
The following procedure is recommended to reach the intermediates positions:
1. Bring the stretcher to the place of operations and make sure the ground is stable and safe.
2. Two operators must be positioned to each edge of the stretcher
3. The operator positioned on the rear edge (feet) of the stretcher will lift it slightly and push the green
handle (n° 14 paragraph 02.1) unlocking the rear legs.

5. The operator positioned on the front edge (head) of the stretcher will lift it slightly and push the red
handle (n° 15 paragraph 02.1) unlocking the front legs.
