4.18 Telescoping Frame
The telescoping frame (X) shortens the cot to improve maneuverability
in confined spaces. The frame locks at the extended and retracted
positions. An additional, unlocked position shortens the cot further,
when used with a raised backrest (Figure 20).
●
Use only a locked position when lifting the cot.
●
The frame must be locked in the extended position before loading
the cot into an ambulance or unloading the cot from an ambulance.
●
Do not fully lower the cot with the frame fully retracted.
To use the telescoping frame:
1.
Loosen or unbuckle the restraints.
2.
Raise the backrest.
3.
Adjust and fasten the restraints.
4.
Squeeze the telescoping frame release levers (Y, Figure 21) toward
the lift bar and push or pull the frame. Release the levers and
continue pushing or pulling the frame until it locks at the new
position.
4.19 Mattress
The mattress is fitted with eight hooks (Z, Figure 22) to secure it on the
patient surface. To attach the mattress:
1.
Position the mattress with the hooks aligned over holes in the
metal patient surface.
2.
Raise the backrest and shock frame as needed.
3.
Flex or press the mattress down as needed to guide each hook
through the patient surface.
4.
Confirm all eight hooks are engaged with the patient surface.
To remove the mattress, slide one hand between the patient surface
and mattress, and guide the hooks through the patient surface.
