4. Weigh The Individual:
If you have a scale on your Tranporter, now is the time to
take and record the weight of the individual.
Key steps to Get Accurate and Consistent Weights:
a. Before you transfer the resident on to the chair push
ZERO button below the scale display window to zero
out the weigh
t of the chair.
b. The seat must not be touching the tub or anything
else, the front casters must be in the locked position,
all four casters must be on a consistent level floor
surface.
c. Transfer the resident onto the chair and position
them in an upright stable position. If the resident is
not upright, is unstable or is moving around, wait until
they settle down and secure them with the SECURITY
BELT.
d. The resident's weight will appear in the display
automatically. Make sure no one is touching or
leaning on the chair including yourself during the
weighting procedure.
e. Record the weight.
Note
: If you accomplish the above steps every time you
weigh someone, you will help assure getting an accurate
weight.
CAUTION
: Do not push LB/KG and ON/ZERO buttons at
the same time. Push all buttons with finger only. No
pens or sharp objects.
5. Open The Door
Open the door by rotating CAM ARM down and pulling
straight out on the BLACK DOOR LATCH RELEASE KNOB.
The door will automatically rise up to the level needed to
rotate it out of the tub. Rotate the door as far as you can
so it is not in the way of the Transporter.
