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.
