DETAIL OF I.V. POLE LATCH
NOTE
The 2−stage permanently attached IV pole is an option and may have been installed at either the head, foot
or both ends of the stretcher. The choice was made at the time the stretcher was purchased.
To use the 2−stage permanently attached IV pole:
1. Lift and pivot the pole from the storage position and push down until it is locked into the receptacle.
2. To raise the height of the pole, pull up on the telescoping portion (A) until it locks into place at its fully raised
position.
3. Rotate the IV hangers (B) to desired position and hang the IV bags.
4. To lower the IV pole, turn the latch (C) until section (A) lowers.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, the weight of the IV bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify the IV pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
