4.6 Backrest
The backrest has a level position and eight raised positions.
Lowest Position: To access the handle when the backrest is in the
lowest position, lift the backrest until it locks in the rst raised position.
Then, follow the instructions below.
To raise or lower the backrest from any position other than the lowest
position:
1. Unfasten or loosen the patient restraints.
2. Support the weight on the backrest. Squeeze the backrest control
handle to unlock (Figure 6).
3. Raise or lower the backrest to the desired position. Release the
backrest control handle.
4. Raise or lower the backrest until it locks into the new position.
5. Fasten and adjust patient restraints.
4.7 Wheel Lock
A wheel lock is tted into all four transport wheels (Figure 7).
Wheel locks help keep the cot stationary during patient transfer and
certain medical procedures. When engaged, the wheel lock stops wheel
rotation.
To engage: Press the trailing end of the lock lever to engage the lock.
To disengage: Press the shank end of the lever to disengage the lock.
4.5 Lead Handle
The folding lead handle is located at the control end of the cot (Figure
5). It allows the control-end operator to pull the cot when it is in a rolling
position.
Use the lead handle only when the cot is on a smooth, level surface.
When rolling on an incline or rough terrain, both operators (and any
helpers) grasp the cot main frame with both hands.
The handle folds for storage.
