Moving on Ramps or Uneven Surfaces

System Tilting

1.Unlock the wheel locks before moving the system.

2.Make sure the control top is locked, to prevent its pivoting during transport.

3.Engage the track locks on the front wheels to ease straight-line travel.

4.Push with the handle at the front of the cart.

5.After the system is in position, engage the wheel locks to immobilize the system, and unlock the control top to allow it to pivot.

Do not move the system over uneven elevator entrances by lifting the machine or any part of the machine.

Always use two people when moving the ultrasound system up and down ramps longer than 20 feet or steeper than 5 degrees. (Wheelchair ramps are usually less than 5 degrees.) Avoid ramps that are steeper than 10 degrees, to eliminate the danger of the system tipping over.

The system has been tested for stability using the IEC 60601-1 test protocol. Following this protocol, the system will not tip over on an incline of up to 10 degrees in any direction. When this amount of incline is exceeded, there is a potential for the system to tip over.
