Uncontrolled movement can cause injury or damage.
Support and control the iN∫X at all times.
Operators must maintain a firm grasp on the main frame
and control the iN∫X at all times. Be prepared to help raise
or lower the iN∫X.

To wake the iN∫X from Sleep Mode, press .
Automatic Stops
The iN∫X automatically stops at the:
● factory-set maximum transport height
● user-set loading height
To continue, press
Providing Lift-Assistance
Allow the iN∫X to lift the load. The operators
and helpers need to provide lift-assistance
only when the load exceeds the load
capacity.
Auto-Equalize Feature
When or is pressed, the iN∫X extends or

5.4 Powered Extending/Retracting

Extending or retracting the legs with a patient on the iN∫X requires
a minimum of two trained operators who are communicating,
working together, and maintaining control of the iN∫X at all times.
Both Operators: Keep both hands on the iN∫X main
1.
frame. Maintain control of the iN∫X so it does not shift
when extending or retracting the legs.
2. Control Operator: Press
turning the power ON, or to awaken the iN∫X from
Sleep Mode.
3. Control Operator: Press
iN∫X reaches the desired height.
Both Operators: During the position change, both

operators (and any helpers) move with the iN∫X and
maintain their grasp on the main frame.
Note:

The color of the display zone assists the operators in
understanding the height condition of the iN∫X. See "Display
Zones" on page 18.
The iN∫X load capacity is 700 lbs/318 kg. Extremely heavy
loads may require assistance from the operators (and any
helpers). See "Using Additional Help" on page 10.
If the iN∫X will not extend the legs, do the following:
1. Both Operators and Helpers: Trained operators stand at
opposite ends of the iN∫X and use an underhand grip to
grasp the main frame. Guide helpers where and how to
grasp the iN∫X. See "Using Additional Help" on page 10.
Control Operator: Press
2.
Operator and helpers to help raise the iN∫X.
Allow the iN∫X to lift the load. The operators and
helpers need to provide lift-assistance only for the
portion of the load that exceeds the load capacity.
Both Operators and Helpers: Together, raise the iN∫X
3.
to the desired height, then hold the iN∫X at that position.
Both Operators and Helpers: Slowly lower your

hands to test and verify that the iN∫X has stabilized at
the new position. Always keep both hands on the main
frame and control the iN∫X.
