can cause the system to exceed 10 degrees of incline.

 

 

 

 

Transporting

the System in a

Vehicle

WARNING

Always engage the wheel locks while transporting the system in a vehicle, and use restraining straps to secure the system in place. Do not rely on the wheel locks to hold the system on inclines greater than 5 degrees.

Be sure that the transporting vehicle can handle the weight of the system (or systems) plus the passengers.

Be sure the load capacity of the loading lift can accommodate the weight of the ultrasound system. A minimum capacity of 550 pounds is recommended.

Always secure the ultrasound system while it is on the loading lift so that it cannot roll. Make sure the control top is locked, to prevent its pivoting. Engage the wheel locks and use wood chocks, restraining straps, or other similar types of constraints as an added safety measure. Do not attempt to hold the system in place manually.

Never strap or secure the system at any point on the control top or monitor.

Load and unload the ultrasound system while the transporting vehicle is parked on a level surface. The system’s weight can easily cause it to roll on any incline.

The system’s weight on an extended loading lift may cause the transporting vehicle to tilt, which could cause personal injury or system damage.
