Operation
Raising or lowering the siderails (XPS option) (Continued)
CAUTION
• Do not sit or stand on the siderails (XPS option).
• Do not use the siderails (XPS option) as a patient transfer device or surface (for example, to slide a patient from the
cot to another surface).
• Do not position patients with full weight on the siderails (XPS option).
• Do not use the siderails (XPS option) as a push/pull device or to steer the product.
Siderails (XPS option) attach to the cot and are always available for your use. The siderails (XPS option) adjust
according to patient size and lock into seven positions. The siderails also adjust to fit through standard doorways or
elevators.
To raise the siderails, lift up on the siderail until it locks into the desired position.
To lower the siderails, lift up to relieve the weight, then pull the red lever. Always lower the siderails when you transfer a
patient to or from the cot.
The XPS option is not a primary patient support surface. It includes a wider mattress and is intended to enhance patient
comfort.
Extending the retractable head section
Extend the retractable head section before you load the cot into the vehicle patient compartment.
WARNING
• Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.
• Do not load the cot into a vehicle with the head section retracted when using a cot fastener. The cot may tip or not
connect with the cot fastener.
To extend the retractable head section:
1. Grasp the outer rail with one hand for support and pull the head section release handle. Rotate the head section
release handle toward the head end of the cot to release the head section from the locked position.
2. While you hold the head section release handle in the released position, pull the head section away from the litter
frame. Lengthen the head section to the extended position.
3. Release the head section release handle to lock the head section in the extended position.
Retracting the retractable head section
Retract the retractable head section to roll the cot in any direction on the load wheels for improved mobility and
maneuverability, even in the lowest position.
WARNING
• Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.
• Do not load the cot into a vehicle with the head section retracted when using a cot fastener. The cot may tip or not
connect with the cot fastener.
