Model 35-ITA Incubator Transporter

4.2  Undercarriage Control Handles

There are three control handles on the transporter: control-end upper  

(B) and lower control handles (C), and the side control handle (F).
Operating any control handle will unlock the undercarriage and allow 

the operators to raise or lower the transporter. Release the control 

handle to engage the undercarriage lock.
The control-end operator selects the most ergonomic control handle 

based on the operator’s height and the task at hand (Figure 3). Firmly 

grasp the main frame (D) or lift frame (E) before operating a control 

handle.
Use the side control handle (F) when the operator is standing on the 

right side of the transporter grasping the main frame (Figure 4).

4 - FEATURES

4.1  Fold-Down Frame

The load end of the main frame folds down to shorten the length of the 

transporter.  Shorten the transporter only when it is in position 5 or 6.
To shorten the transporter, place the transporter in position 5 or 6.  Slide 

the lock sleeves (A) toward the load end of the transporter, and push the 

frame down (Figure 2).
To return the main frame to the extended position, pull the folded frame 

up until the lock sleeves snap over and lock the hinges.

 

NOTICE

Operators should expect and be prepared to control the 

normal downward movement of the transporter which 

occurs when a control handle is squeezed.
