16.6 i-Drive Power (optional)
16.6.1 i-Drive Power System - Basic Description
It is possible to equip the bed with the i-Drive Power wheel. The i-Drive Power helps hospital staff to drive the bed during patient
transport with minimal manpower.
The i-Drive wheel is located in the center of the bed under the undercarriage. i-Drive Power is equipped with its own accumulator
and charger and it is not dependent on the bed functions so, if discharged you can still use the bed functions. The bed is equipped
with one i-Drive controller. i-Drive is oriented in straight direction of the bed.
16.6.2 Safety instruction for i-Drive Power
► Follow the instructions carefully.
► Ensure that the bed is operated exclusively by qualied staff.
► Make sure the siderails are pulled up during the transport.
► Never use bed positioning buttons during transport.
► Never use Fast forward button when descending. The Fast forward button is recommended for use when ascending as it
is more efcient.
► Special precaution need to be considered when reversing. Always keep distance from the bed and never use reverse
button when descending or ascending.
► Do not use Free Drive to transport on a slope greater than 1 degree unless adequate personnel are available to manage
safe bed transport.
► Never use the i-Drive Power to drive the bed up or down the slope that exceeds 6 degrees.
► Never leave the bed with an activated i-Drive Power system without supervision of the trained staff.
► Always use the regular mechanical brake system to brake and stabilize the bed.
► Pay increased attention when driving the bed using i-Drive Power. Be aware of people and objects in close proximity and
avoid collision with them by careful driving, especially by appropriate speed control.
► Make sure the bed is unplugged and bed brakes are released before using i-Drive Power.
► Push the emergency stop drive button if immediate movement interruption is needed (e.g. to avoid collision with other
persons or objects).
► Retract the i-Drive Power wheel to the undercarriage when parking. This will prevent misuse when unbraking and braking
the bed.
► The i-Drive Power electromagnetic brake is designed just for temporary bed stop and not for the permanent parking.
► Switch off the i-Drive Power accumulator prior to long-term storage or transport (see chapter 6.1).
► Push the emergency retraction button under the chassis cover to retract the i-Drive Power wheel
► in case an of i- Drive Power system failure. This will enable moving the bed to a safe area manually without using i-Drive
Power.
► Retract the i-Drive Power wheel to the undercarriage every time you intend to move the bed sideways.
► Pay attention to the LED accumulator status indicator and plan your drive using the i-Drive Power accordingly. Insufcient
accumulator capacity can cause unexpected complications and risks during the drive.
► Always plug the bed in when you nish your drive in order to recharge the accumulator and keep your bed ready to go
using the i-Drive Power.
► The i-Drive Power accumulator must be replaced every 2 years to maintain proper functions of the i-Drive Power.
