User Setup Procedures

POWER-LOAD SETUP

The condition of Power-LOAD is the responsibility of the user. It is important that Power-LOAD is working properly 
before the product is placed into service.  Have a qualified service person use the following list and the operation guide 
instructions to check Power-LOAD functionality before the product is placed into service.  

1.  Raise the lifting arms and manually push the Power-LOAD trolley into the head end of the transfer assembly to 

charge the battery. 

The batteries require approximately 2 hours to recharge before Power-LOAD is put into 

service for its first use.

Note:  

The battery power LED flashes green when charging.

2.  Confirm that the installation checklist is complete (see “Power-LOAD Installation Checklist” on 

page 38).

3.  If the installation checklist was completed by a third-party installer, the installation checklist should be repeated by 

the end user.  Do not place Power-LOAD into service if the installation checklist cannot be completed.

POWER-LOAD COMPATIBLE COT SETUP

The condition of the Power-LOAD compatible cot is the responsibility of the user. It is important that the Power-LOAD 
compatible cot is working properly before the product is placed into service.  Ensure that the cot is setup according to 
the requirements specified in the appropriate cot operations/maintenance manual for your cot model.

 WARNING

To avoid the risk of patient injury, adjust the cot height to match the vehicle deck height as described in the appropriate
