when you extend the assembly.
Push the loading-wheel release lever to extend the

Loading-Wheel Assembly
, page 8, for release lever
location and operation.
Line the cot up with the cot fastener inside the vehicle

and push the cot into the vehicle until the loading
wheels are on the floor and the front legs contact the
bumper (Figure 14).

(Figure 15).
With palms facing up, grasp the cot main frame, lift

the foot end of the cot, squeeze and hold the
right
control lever to unlock the front legs, and push the cot
into the vehicle (Figure 16) until the rear legs contact
the bumper.
Important
Keep the front end of the cot two feet from the
vehicle when releasing the telescoping loading-wheel
assembly. This distance will prevent the spring-loaded
assembly from contacting the rear of the vehicle when
the assembly extends.
