Cot Features
OPERATING THE BREAKAWAY HEAD SECTION
The head end of the cot litter folds down to shorten the length of the cot and allow for maneuvering when space is
limited in elevators, halls, etc.
The breakaway head section should only be used when the cot is in positions 5−7 (see page 19).
WARNING
Operating the cot with the breakaway head section lowered may cause injury to the patient or operator or damage to the
cot. Use only positions 5−7 (see page 19) when using this configuration.
To lower the breakaway head section, raise the backrest to its uppermost position (see page 35 for backrest
operation instructions). Squeeze the release bar (A) at the head end of the cot with one hand while supporting the
head section with the other hand. Lower the head section.
To raise the breakaway head section, lift the breakaway head section until the release bar clicks and the head section
locks into place.
CAUTION
Damage to the cot can occur if the cot is lowered in the shortened position. Use only positions 5−7 (see page 19)
when the cot is shortened.
