The cot is fully compatible with the Model 6390 P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D system if you ordered the cot with the P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D option

or upgraded your cot with the compatibility kit.

• Always use P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D with the 6085/6086 P P e e r r f f o o r r m m a a n n c c e e - - P P R R O O XT, 6500/6506 P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O XT, and 6510/6516

P P o o w w e e r r - - P P R R O O IT cots with the P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D option only. In certain situations, you can use P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D as a standard

antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the P P o o w w e e r r - - L L O O A A D D option.

system to avoid the risk of injury.
