Operation
Raising or lowering the cot manually with the manual override
In the event of loss of electrical function, you can use the cot manual override. This allows manual operation of the
product until the restoration of the electrical, powered functions. Use the red manual back-up release handle to raise or
lower the cot.
The manual back-up release handle is located is along the patient left side of the lower lift bar at the foot end of the cot.
To raise or lower the cot with the manual back-up release handle:
1.
Both operators: Lift the cot during the raise or lower operation to support the weight of the cot at each end.
2.
Operator 1 (foot end):
a.
Pull the manual back-up release handle toward the lift bar.
b.
While pulling the manual back-up release handle, raise or lower the cot to the desired position.
c.
Release the handle to lock the cot into position
Notes
•
Both operators must lift the cot weight off of the wheels to use the manual extend or retract while a patient is on the
cot.
•
Activation of the manual back-up release handle may cause the cot to lower at a slow rate if less than 50 lb (23 kg)
are on the cot.
•
Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the cot is used for extended periods in cold temperatures. When
using the manual back-up release function to extend the base, while unloading in cold weather conditions, hold the
manual back-up release handle for approximately one second after the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize
sagging of the litter as you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment.
Expediting load with the high speed retract mode
When you press the retract (-) button, the cot will enter the high speed retract mode when the cot wheels are not
supporting the weight of the cot and patient.
The high-speed retract mode expedites loading of the cot into a vehicle. The undercarriage retracts toward the highest
position once the weight of the cot and patient is no longer supported by the wheels. Press the retract (-) button to
actuate the control switch.
Loading or unloading a cot with the Power-LOAD option
The cot is fully compatible with the Model 6390
Power-LOAD
system if you ordered the cot with the
Power-LOAD
option
or upgraded your cot with the compatibility kit.
