4.20 Telescoping Frame
Use the telescoping frame (Figure 21) to shorten the iN∫X and
improve maneuverability in tight spaces (Figure 22). There
are two locked positions: extended and retracted. A third,
unlocked position fully retracts the frame to shorten the iN∫X
to its minimum length (when used with a raised backrest).
●
Use only a locked position when lifting the iN∫X.
●
The telescoping frame must be locked in the extended
position before loading the iN∫X into an ambulance or
unloading the iN∫X from an ambulance.
●
Do not lower the iN∫X to its minimum height with the
frame in the fully-retracted position.
USING THE TELESCOPING FRAME
1. Loosen or unbuckle the pelvis strap if needed.
2. Raise the backrest.
3. Adjust and fasten the pelvis strap.
4. Squeeze the telescoping frame release handle (Figure
21) toward the lift 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.
4.21 Safety-Bar Release Levers
Use the safety-bar release levers to disengage each safety
bar from the safety hook.
A set of release levers is located on the telescoping frame
and on the loading-end legs (Figure 23).
Release each safety bar from the safety hook by turning the
bottom of the release lever away from the center of the iN∫X.
