NOTE
Raising and lowering the siderails safely is a two−handed operation. Use one hand to hold and position the
siderail and the other hand to operate the siderail latch.
WARNING
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the side-
rail spindles or injury could occur.
To raise the siderails: Pull up on the siderail (A) and raise it to the full up position until the latch (B) engages.
To lower the siderails: Pull up on the latch (B) and guide the siderail to the full down position.
NOTE
The latches (B) are colored yellow for easy identification.
The foot end of the siderail top rail can be used as a push/pull handle.
CAUTION
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow siderail to lower on its own.
NOTE
There is a dual siderail latch option available with latches on both ends of the stretcher.
