Summary of Safety Precautions
7
The following is a list of safety precautions that must be observed when operating or servicing this unit. The
precautions are repeated throughout the manual, where applicable. Carefully read this list before using or
servicing the unit.
WARNING
S
Improper usage of the Cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot
only as described in this manual.
S
Install the safety hook at least 1/8 inch from the edge of the rear ambulance door. After installation, verify
the cot legs lock into the load position without contacting the ambulance bumper.
S
Have the vehicle safety hook installed by a certified mechanic. Improper safety hook installation can result
in injury to the patient or operator or damage to the unit.
S
Failure to install the vehicle safety hook can result in injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the
safety hook as described in this manual.
S
To avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the cot from the patient
compartment.
S
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the
cot and be injured.
S
To avoid accidental release of the Pedi−Mate
t
, and possible injury to the infant, ensure the buckle is lo-
cated away from obstructions on the cot or head end storage pouch.
S
Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. Refer to pages 15 and 16 for proper re-
straint strap usage. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
S
Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient
is on the cot.
S
Never apply the optional wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved
while wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
S
Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended. Wheel locks may not
provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
S
Never install or use wheel locks on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using wheel locks
on wheels with less than a 6” diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, resulting
in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
S
Be sure the undercarriage has engaged and locked before removing the loading wheels from the patient
compartment floor of the vehicle. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the pa-
tient and/or operator could result.
S
Grasping the Cot improperly can cause injury. Grasp only the lifting bars to lift the cot.
Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid injury, use extreme caution when placing
your feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot.
S
Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury
to the patient or operator could occur.
S
The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the
procedures when unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
S
The cot must have at least 5/8” of clearance between the ambulance bumper and the
cot to disengage the safety bar when unloading the cot from the ambulance. Verify the cot legs lock into
the load position before disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook. Failure to properly lock the cot
into position can cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
S
Do not allow untrained helpers to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/helpers can
cause injury to the patient or themselves.
