SX SURFACE XTENDER COTSIDES (K)
The SX surface extender cotsides provide added patient security
and comfort, and increases the width of the patient surface allowing
flexibility for large patients. SX cotsides also provides a location to
place a patient's arm to start an IV etc. Each side locks individually.
There are five locking positions and an unlocked, 'down' position.
(Figure 8).
The SX cotsides has a safety feature which prevents the release
mechanism from being overloaded. If the release handle is operated
while there is weight on the cotside, the lock will not release. Lift up
on the SX cotside to support the weight and release the lock before
lowering.
To raise the SX cotside: Rotate the SX up to the desired position.
There is no need to use the lock release.
To lower the SX cotside: Lift the SX slightly and move away fro you
to `take the weight off the locking mechanism, then squeeze the red
lock release (Figure 8) and lower the cotside to the desired position.
TELESCOPING FRAME
Use the telescoping frame (Figure 9) to shorten the stretcher and
improve maneuverability in tight spaces (Figure 10). There are two
locked positions: fully extended and retracted (retracts the frame to
shorten the stretcher to its minimum length when used with a raised
backrest).
Use only a locked position when lifting the stretcher.
●
The telescoping frame must be locked in the fully extended
●
position before loading the stretcher into an ambulance or
unloading the stretcher from an ambulance
Using the telescopic frame:
1. Loosen or unbuckle the waist strap if needed.
2. Raise the backrest.
3. Adjust and fasten the pelvis strap.
4. Hold and squeeze the telescoping frame release handle
(Figure 9) towards the cross-bar and begin pushing or pulling
the frame, then release the handle. Continue pushing or
pulling the frame until it locks at the new position (fully in
or out).
Loading the stretcher to ambulance with telescoping
frame retracted can cause injury and damage. Make sure
the telescoping frame is always fully extended and locked
before loading.
