LOADING AN EMPTY COT INTO A VEHICLE WITH ONE OPERATOR
WARNING
•
The one person loading and unloading procedures
are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the
procedures when loading or unloading a patient. Injury
to the patient or operator could result.
•
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.
To load an empty cot into a vehicle with one operator:
1. Place the cot in a loading position (any position in
which the load wheels meet the vehicle floor height).
2. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if
equipped).
3. Roll the cot to the open door of the patient
compartment.
4. Push the cot forward until the loading wheels are on
the compartment floor and the safety bar passes the
safety hook.
5. Pull the cot back until the safety bar engages the
safety hook.
6. Grasp the cot frame at the foot end and squeeze and
hold the release handle (see Figure 21).
7. Lower the foot end of the cot to the ground, making
sure that the cot locks in position 1 (see Figure 22).
8. Lift the foot end of the cot until it is level with the
compartment floor (see Figure 23).
9. Grasp the base of the cot with one hand and pull up
the base of the cot towards the litter, reducing the
space between the base and the litter.
10. Push the cot into the patient compartment by guiding it
into the cot fastener.
WARNING
Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the
cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury to the
patient or operator could occur.
