Cot Operation
1–23
Base Head End Retractable Lifting Handles (Optional Equipment)
WARNING
The caster steer lock knob and the casters must be in the locked position when loading/unloading the cot from
a vehicle or loading tray system and when changing cot height positions or the cot may become unstable
possibly resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
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 operator to
lift safely. (If additional assistance is needed, see the reference chart on page 1–19).
The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot’s base frame to unfold completely and lock
when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator will have to raise his/her arms higher to enable the base frame
to unfold. (If additional assistance is needed, see the reference chart on page 1–19).
Always verify the base frame is securely locked into position before relaxing your hold on the hand grips.
Pivot the handles into place.
To change cot height, two operators firmly grasp the hand grips at opposite ends of the base unit.
Both operators lift the cot until the weight is off the latching mechanism (approximately 1/4”).
Both operators squeeze and hold the red release handles and both operators raise or lower the cot to the
desired height.
As motion of the cot begins, the operators relax his/her grip on the release handle to stop the cot in the next
available height position.
NOTE
Always communicate with your partner to ensure you work together to achieve the intended operation.
