RAMP LOADING AND UNLOADING
Loading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a
minimum of two (2) trained operators.
WARNING
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. Before pushing up the ramp, lower the cot to its
lowest position by pressing the retract (-) button
for maximum stability. Also verify that there is
nothing hanging down from the cot, such as
blankets or straps.
3. Using the optional push bars, both operators
should push/pull the cot up the ramp, head end
first. The operators should carefully guide the cot
up the center of the ramp as shown in Figure 13).
4. Both operators should then push the cot into the
patient compartment, until the cot engages 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).
