Cot Operation
16
Loading the Cot into a Vehicle
When loading the cot into a vehicle, an operator should remember the following important issues:
S
There must be a safety hook properly installed in the vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with
the front legs of the base frame. (See page 9 for safety hook installation instructions.)
S
The operator(s) must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any other items on the cot.
S
The higher the operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. The operator
may need help loading the cot into a vehicle if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy for the opera-
tor to lift safely.
The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot’s legs to unfold completely and lock when
the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator will have to raise his/her arms higher to enable the undercarriage
to unfold.
Place the cot in a loading position (position 7 or 8 – see page 12). Roll the cot to the open door of the patient
compartment. Fold vehicle bumper to raised position (if available).
Push the cot forward until the loading wheels are on the patient compartment floor and the safety bar passes
the safety hook.
WARNING
Failure to use the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as
described in this manual.
Operator 1 – Grasp the cot frame at the foot end. Lift the foot end of the cot until the weight is off the latching
mechanism. Squeeze and hold the release handle (location A or B).
Operator 2 – Grasp the base frame where indicated (location C). Raise and hold the undercarriage until it
stops in its uppermost position.
Both operators – Push the cot into the patient compartment, engaging the cot fastener (not included).
NOTE
Loose items or debris on the patient compartment floor can interfere with the operation of the safety hook
and cot fastener. Keep the patient compartment floor clear.
