Guidelines for Handle Placement

Use the guidelines below to select attachment points for
the handles:

Handles may be attached to the cot main frame
at one or more 

pairs

 of the slots shown in Figure 2.

Place handles at identical points on both sides of
the cot to keep the cot balanced side-to-side when
lifted.

 

Handles do not have a left- or right-hand

designation; each handle can be used on either side
of the cot.

At the control end of the cot, the handles can be
used with or without the accessory sidearms. At
the loading end of the cot, the handles can be used
only if there are no accessory sidearms installed.

Improper use can cause injury. Use the
handles only for the purpose described in
this manual.
