Stretcher Operation
USING THE SIDERAILS
A
B
WARNING
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.
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.
USING THE PUSH HANDLES
CAUTION
The push handles were designed for use while transporting the stretcher. Avoid using other parts of the
stretcher as push/pull devices because damage could occur.
To use the push handles: Pivot the handles up and push down until they are locked into position.
To store the push handles: Lift the handles up and pivot them down to store in the handle rests.
