TAIL LIFT LOADING AND UNLOADING
Loading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a
minimum of two (2) trained operators.
WARNING
• A lift gate stop which is not properly functioning can
result in injury to the patient or operator; ensure
that the cot is unable to roll back off of the lift
before using the lift with a cot and patient. Verify
the lift gate stop is maintained and functioning
properly and ensure that the cot is secure at all
times when on the tail lift.
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips.
To load the cot:
1. Ensure that the patient is secured at all times while
on the cot.
2. Move the cot to its lowest position for greater
stability by pressing the retract (-) button.
3. Push the cot forward onto the tail lift, head end
first as shown in Figure 10. Ensure that the wheels
are in the proper location on the tail lift to allow the
safety stop to properly rotate in place and prevent
the cot from rolling backwards as shown in Figure
11.
4. Before raising the tail lift, verify that there is
adequate distance between the cot and rear of
the ambulance, and that there is nothing hanging
down from the cot.
5. As one operator raises the tail lift, the second
operator should maintain a firm grip on the cot
frame to provide greater stability.
6. Both operators should carefully guide the cot into
the patient compartment and into the cot fastener
(not included).
CAUTION
• The unit must be in its lowest position to properly engage the cot fastener (not included). To ensure that the cot
is in the lowest position, press the retract (-) button until the cot stops moving down. This should be done before
attempting to engage the cot into the cot fastener (not included).
• To reduce the risk of damage to the cot or cot fastener, do not attempt to activate the cot height activation while it
is engaged in the cot fastener (not included).
To unload the cot:
1. Ensure that the safety gate stop is in position to prevent the cot from rolling off of the lift.
2. Raise the tail lift to the ambulance floor level and disengage the cot from the cot fastener system.
3. Both operators should firmly grasp the cot frame and roll the cot into the tail lift. Make sure that the cot is fully
removed from the patient compartment and the cot wheels are in the proper position to allow the lift to lower freely.
4. Lower the tail lift to the ground and ensure that it is fully lowered and stopped before disengaging the tail lift safety
gate and allowing the cot to be rolled off of the tail lift.
