4.12 Telescoping Handles
Telescoping handles (P, Figure 13) lock in two positions: fully retracted
and extended (about 9"/225 mm). Use the telescoping handles only
when they are in a locked position. To change the handle position:
1.
Press the red button on the end of the handle (Figure 13) and
push or pull the handle to the desired position.
2.
Release the button. Push or pull the handle to verify it has locked.
4.13 Position Indicator Lights
Position indicator lights (Q, Figure 14) project a red line on the
ambulance floor as a visual aid for the operators. The lights have no
effect on cot operation.
Position indicator lights activate automatically during the loading and
unloading process and help operators visually locate the proper position
to stop rolling the cot and extend or retract the control-end legs.
The red line shows the approximate position of the intermediate
loading wheels. If the line is visible on the ambulance floor, then the
intermediate loading wheels and the majority of the load (the weight
on the cot) are also inside the ambulance.
4.14 Shock Frame
The shock frame (R, Figure 15) elevates the patient's feet approximately
16°. Follow your local medical protocols when deciding to use the
shock frame. Use an underhand grip (palms up) to support the shock
frame when raising or lowering it. For proper, ergonomically-correct
operation, always work from the control end of the cot.
To raise the shock frame:
1.
Unfasten or loosen the leg restraint.
2.
Lift the shock frame with both hands until it locks in the raised
position. The support bars engage automatically.
3.
Fasten and adjust the leg restraint.
To lower the shock frame:
1.
Unfasten or loosen the leg restraint.
2.
Support the weight of the shock frame with both hands and lift
slightly.
3.
Using both thumbs, press the shock frame control levers (S, Figure
16) to disengage the support bars, then lower the shock frame.
4.
Fasten and adjust the leg restraint.
