How to Operate the 500-BCL-P
Standard operating procedure for transferring a body or casket between a cooler, prep table, casket platform, or retort:
- Verify power. Confirm the 12V DC battery is charged, or plug into a grounded wall outlet for dual-mode operation.
- Position the lift alongside the source surface (cooler, casket platform, prep table, embalming station, or retort).
- Engage caster wheel locks before any transfer for stable, single-operator safety.
- Lower to loading height using the electric actuator control to match the source surface.
- Transfer the body or casket onto the lift surface. Confirm centering and that load does not exceed the 900+ lb XL capacity.
- Raise to destination height using the electric actuator. Smooth, controlled travel to the working height.
- Release casters, transport, re-lock, and complete the transfer to the destination surface.
