OPERATING THE RETRACTABlE HEAD SECTION

The head section telescopes from a first position suitable for
loading the cot into an emergency vehicle to a second position
retracted within the litter frame. When retracted, the cot can
roll in any direction on the caster wheels even in the lowest
position, allowing for improved mobility and maneuverability.
To extend the head section:
1. Grasp the outer rail with one hand for support and pull the
lever (A), rotating the lever toward the head end of the
cot to release the head section from the locked position.
2. While holding the handle (A) in the released position, pull
the head section away from the litter frame, lengthening
the head section until it engages in the fully extended
position.
3. Release lever (A) to lock the head section in the extended
position.
To retract the head section:
1. Grasp the outer rail with one hand for support and release
the lever (A), rotate the lever toward the head end of the
cot to release the head section from the locked position.
2. While holding the handle (A) in the released position,
push the head section toward the litter frame, retracting
the head section until it engages in the retracted position.
3. Release lever (A) to lock the head section in the retracted
position.
WARNING
• To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is
locked into place prior to operating the cot.
• When using a standard cot fastener, do not attempt to load
the cot into the patient compartment with the head section
retracted. Loading the cot with the head section retracted
may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in
the cot fastener, possibly causing injury to the patient or
operator and/or damage to the product.
