Using the Features
5.5 Wheel locks
The operator-end swivel wheels are fitted with wheel locks.
Use the wheel locks to help keep the cot stationary while
transferring a body onto or off from the cot.
Do not use the wheel locks as brakes.
Remain with the cot and maintain control of it at all times.
To engage a wheel lock, press down on the red lock lever
with your toe (Figure 8). To disengage, slide your toe under
the lock lever and left it up.
5.4 Mattress
The four hooks on the bottom of the mattress (Figure 7)
anchor the mattress to the cot and limit its movement during
body transfer.
Attach the mattress by laying it on the cot and feeding each
hook through a hole in the bed panel.
To remove the mattress, slide one hand under the mattress
and apply slight upward pressure while unfastening a hook
from the bed surface with your other hand. Repeat for the
remaining three hooks.

5.6 sidearms (Optional)
If installed, the two sidearms provide additional security by
helping to keep the body from sliding on the cot. Keep the
sidearms raised except when transferring a body onto or off
from the cot.
Sidearms may be factory-installed, or are available as an
accessory. See
Accessories,
page 28.
To lower, pull the sidearm release pin (Figure 9) and lower
the sidearm. To raise, rotate the sidearm upward until the pin
locks in place.

Sidearms are not designed for lifting. Grasp only the
