B
CAUTION
Be sure the siderail latching mechanism (B) is working properly at all times. If it is not, refer to your stretcher
maintenance manual for ”Siderail Latch Adjustment”.
To engage siderails: Pull up siderail (A) and raise to full up position so that latch (B) engages. (See illustra-
tion).
To disengage siderails: Pull up on latch (B) and guide siderail to the full down position.
WARNING
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the side-
rail spindles or injury could occur.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
