ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE COT WITH TWO OPERATORS
WARNING
•
Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid in-
jury, use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot.
•
Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and
unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.
•
When operating the side release handle, keep hands away from the foot end release handle to avoid injury.
You can raise or lower an unoccupied cot with one operator. If a patient is on the cot, a minimum of
two (2) trained
operators
(one located at each end of the cot) are required to raise or lower the of the cot.
To raise or lower the cot from the ends:
1. The operator at the foot end of the cot squeezes the release handle (A or B) while a secure grip is maintained on
the lifting bars (see Figure 13).
2. Both operators must lift the cot until the weight is off the latching mechanism (approximately 1/4”).
3. The operator at the foot end squeezes and holds the release handle and both operators then raise or lower the cot
together. The handle is released when the desired position is reached. Both operators should maintain a secure
grip on the litter frame until the latching mechanism is securely locked into position.
To raise or lower the cot from the sides:
1. Check the cot to determine if the
side release handle is on the patient
left or right side.
2. The operator on the patient’s right
or left (depending on the location
of the release handle) reaches the
release handle at the midpoint of
the litter (C). Both operators must
lift the cot until the weight is off the
latching mechanism (approximately
1/4”) (see Figure 13).
3. The operator at the patient’s right or
left (depending on the location of the
release handle) squeezes and holds
the release handle. Both operators
then raise or lower the cot together.
The handle is released when the
desired position is reached. Both
operators should maintain a secure
grip on the litter frame until the
latching mechanism is securely
locked into position.
