You can order your cot with the expandable patient surface (XPS) option or upgrade your cot to add the XPS option.

• 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.

The head section telescopes from an extended position to a retracted position within the litter frame.

W W A A R R N N I I N N G G

• Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.

• Do not attempt to load the cot into the vehicle patient compartment with the head section retracted. Loading the cot with

the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not connect to the vehicle cot fastener.

To extend the head section or foot section:

1. Squeeze the red release levers (A) on each side of the frame as you pull the head or foot section out of its retracted

position (Figure 16).

2. Make sure that the head section or foot section locks into position.
