Operation Guide
ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE COT WITH TWO OPERATORS
Changing the height of the cot while a patient is on the cot requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators who are
positioned at each end of the cot.
To raise or lower the cot:
1. Operator 1 (Foot End)
− Grasp the cot frame at the foot end and press either the extend (+) button on the control
switch to raise the litter or the retract (–) button on the control switch to lower the litter to the desired position.
2. Operator 2 (Head End) − Maintain a firm grip on the outer rail until the cot is securely in the desired position.
WARNING
• Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid
injury, 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.
Note: If the extend (+) button on the control switch remains activated after reaching the set load height, the motor will
remain halted until the operator releases the button. Once the button is released, press the extend (+) button again to
“jog” the cot height up further.
CAUTION
Do not “jog” the cot past the established cot load height of the product when the safety bar engages the vehicle safety
hook or damage may occur to the product.
