• Do not use a foot end fixed IV pole on a product with the scale option.

• Do not load the IV pole above the safe working load of 40 lb (18 kg).

• Do not load an IV pole hook above the safe working load of 11 lb (5 kg).

You can purchase the product with the three-stage IV pole option permanently attached at the head end, foot end, or both

ends of the product. The IV pole is equipped with a telescopic pole that extends to provide a second and third height

position. You can also fold and store the IV pole when not in use.

To position the three-stage IV pole (Figure 13):

1. Lift and pivot the pole from the storage position.

2. Push the IV pole down until the pole locks in place.

3. To raise the height of the IV pole, pull up on the telescoping portion (A) until the pole locks into place at the fully raised

position.

4. For a higher IV pole, pull up on section (B). Release section (B) at any desired height to lock the pole in place.

5. Rotate the IV hangers (C) to the desired position and hang the IV bags.

6. To lower the IV pole, push up on the yellow portion of the grip (D) while holding on to section (B) until the pole lowers.

7. Turn the latch (E) and lower the IV pole telescoping portion.

N N o o t t e e - - Always make sure that the IV pole is at a low height to allow the pole to pass safely through door openings when

you transport a patient.
