WARNINGS — CAUTIONS AND PROPER OPERATION (See List on Previous Page)

3.3 BRAKING AND STEERING OPERATION (ALL MODELS)

3.3.1 Applying the Brakes
Activate the four wheel central braking system by depressing the red pedal at any of the four corners of the unit (Figure 3-1) to approximately 45°. All four caster wheels should then be locked from swiveling and rotating.
3.3.2 Releasing the Brakes
Release the brakes by depressing the green pedal at any corner of the unit until the pedal is in a horizontal position (Figure 3-2). All four wheels should then rotate and swivel freely.

From any corner of the stretcher, depress the green pedal downward into locked position (Figure 3-3). Push the stretcher forward.
Either one caster at the foot end will lock into nonswivel mode, or the optional fifth wheel will lower and apply pressure to the floor, thus guiding the stretcher along a straight path with minimal steering effort by the attendant.
WARNING: Floors must be smooth and level to maintain optimum fifth wheel steering. Fifth wheel steering functions can be influenced by floor irregularities (bumps or dips) greater than 1/2” (13 mm) across the span of the stretcher.
3.3.4 Releasing the Steering Lock / Fifth Wheel
Release the steering lock by depressing the red pedal at any corner of the unit until the pedal is in a horizontal position (Figure 3-2).

This test assesses the BASIC SAFETY and ESSENTIAL PERFORMANCE of an intentional receiver when an ambient signal is in the passband. It is understood that the receiver might not achieve normal reception during the test.
c)   Testing may be performed at other modulation frequencies identified by the RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS.
d)   Applies only  to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with magnetically sensitive components or  circuitry.
e)   During the test, the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM may be powered at any NOMINAL input voltage, but with the same frequency as the test signal (see Table 1).
f)    Before modulation is applied.
g)   This test level assumes a minimum distance between the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM and sources of power frequency magnetic field of at least 15 cm. If the RISK ANALYSIS shows that the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM will be used closer than 15 cm to sources of power frequency magnetic field, the IMMUNITY TEST LEVEL shall be adjusted as appropriate for the minimum expected distance.

p) Applicable to ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS with RATED input current less than or equal to 16 A / phase.
q) At some phase angles, applying this test to ME EQUIPMENT with transformer mains power input might cause an overcurrent protection device to open. This can occur due to magnetic flux saturation of the transformer core after the voltage dip. If this occurs, the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM shall provide BASIC SAFETY during and after the test.
r) For ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that have multiple voltage settings or auto ranging voltage capability, the test shall be performed at the minimum and maximum RATED input voltage.

9.7 RECOMMENDED SEPARATION DISTANCES BETWEEN PORTABLE AND MOBILE RF COMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT AND HAUSTED STRETCHERS

The Hausted Stretchers are intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the Hausted Stretchers can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum  distance between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the Hausted Stretchers as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the communications equipment.

Rated maximum output power of transmitter (W)| Separation distance according to frequency of transmitter (m)
---|---
150 kHz to 80 MHz

d = 1.2√P

| 80 MHz to 800 MHz

d = 1.2√P

| 800 MHz to 2.7 GHz

d = 2.3√P

0,01| 0.12| 0.12| 0.23
0,1| 0.38| 0.38| 0.73
1| 1.2| 1.2| 2.3
10| 3.8| 3.8| 7.3
100| 12| 12| 23

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended separation distance in meters (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the  transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects, and people.
