Trendelenburg
The Trendelenburg action can be operated easily by placing your hands on the push bar and
pulling the handle up towards you with your fingers as shown (Fig 1). Push the top down to the
desired angle (Max of 13 degrees) and release handle (Fig 2).
To bring the top to a horizontal position, pull the handle which will then return the top to the
horizontal position.
Please note:- when returning to the horizontal position, the upward movement is assisted.
Backrest
The backrest is operated by squeezing the handle located under the right hand side of the
backrest board as shown (Fig 3). The backrest movement is from 0 to 65 degrees, this is
controlled by a gas spring.
When moving the backrest into its flat/horizontal position, ensure
nothing can become trapped between the framework and the
backrest.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When adjusting the backrest position
while a patient is on the trolley we strongly advise this is
done by two members of staff, one to support the patient
and one to adjust the backrest. The cot sides should also be
in the up position.
