Pedigo 750
Pedigo · Model 750
Pneumatic Assist Fowler: - Pneumatic cylinder provides additional assist for the safe and easy raising and lowering of the patient. Quick-Release Oxygen Tank Holder (Patent Pending) - Pedigo’s Quick-Release O2 tank holder is ergonomically located under the litter for easy access and to reducing caregiver bending. Dual Side Mounted Hydraulic Foot Pedals - Hydraulic Foot Pedals are located on each side of the stretcher within the patient care zone. Tuck-Away Side Rails - Full length stainless steel tuck-away side rails with integrated push/pull handles and latch release mounted at all four corners of the stretcher. Easy one-handed access to the release mechanism. Zero gap positioning. Hand Control Trendelenburg - Mounted at the foot end of the stretcher, the unique Hand Control Trendelenburg with pneumatic assist easily moves from horizontal to positive or reverse Trendelenburg positions. Pedigo’s unique mechanical memory lock perfectly returns the angle of the litter to the horizontal position. Brake & Steer Foot Pedals - Ergonomically designed, the Brake and Steer mechanism provides effortless heel and toe activation at all four corners.
Key tips
- ·Casters and the wheel-lock brake take the most day-to-day wear - check both every PM, not just on complaint.
- ·A cracked weld or loose frame joint is a safety-critical finding - pull the unit from service until it's repaired.
Typical Failure Modes
Compiled for this model from its own documentation and established engineering knowledge for this equipment class - not from a verified service record. Confirm against the manufacturer's service manual.
Hydraulic height / Trendelenburg will not lift or holds poorly
HighSymptoms: Pump will not raise the deck, or the deck settles under load.
Root cause: Worn hydraulic pump / seals, an internal valve leak, or low hydraulic fluid.
Brake / steer castor fault
MediumSymptoms: Brake will not hold, fifth-wheel steer ineffective, castor shimmy.
Root cause: Worn brake linkage, castors, or the fifth-wheel mechanism.
Backrest / Fowler mechanism fault
MediumSymptoms: Backrest will not raise / hold, gas strut weak, pneumatic assist failed.
Root cause: Worn gas spring / strut or the release mechanism.
Siderail / IV pole / accessory fault
LowSymptoms: Siderails will not latch or drop, IV pole loose, litter attachments worn.
Root cause: Worn latches, detents, or accessory sockets.
Powered drive fault (powered stretchers)
MediumSymptoms: Drive assist will not engage or is weak, drive-fault code.
Root cause: Drive battery, motor / controller, or the throttle.

Troubleshooting Approach
A starting sequence for this model, compiled from its documentation and engineering knowledge for this equipment class. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Hydraulic height / Trendelenburg will not lift or holds poorly
- Check the hydraulic fluid level.
- Pump the deck up under load and time how fast it settles.
- Inspect the pump and cylinder for external leaks.
- Rebuild the pump with the seal kit or bleed the system per the manual.
- Confirm it holds at full height under the rated load.
Symptom: Brake / steer castor will not hold / castor shimmy
- Inspect the brake linkage and each castor.
- Adjust the central-brake linkage.
- Replace worn castors and the fifth-wheel components.
- Confirm the brake holds on an incline and the steer-lock engages.
- Check all four corners brake evenly.
Symptom: Backrest / Fowler will not raise or hold
- Check the gas spring / strut and the release mechanism.
- Confirm the pneumatic assist (where fitted) holds.
- Replace a weak gas strut.
- Confirm the backrest holds at several angles under load.
- Inspect the pivot hardware for wear.
Symptom: Siderails / IV pole / accessories loose or will not latch
- Inspect the latches, detents and accessory sockets for wear.
- Adjust or replace worn latch hardware.
- Confirm the siderails lock up and drop cleanly.
- Check the IV pole and litter attachments are secure.
- Load-test any patient-support accessory.
