Operation
Unloading a cot from a vehicle with an antler style cot fastener (Continued)
CAUTION
•
Always set the cot transfer wheels safely on the ground when you unload the cot from the vehicle patient
compartment to avoid the risk of product damage.
•
Do not use the jog function to jog past the set cot load height after the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle
safety hook.
Stryker recommends that both operators are at the foot end to reduce the load on each operator. One or two operators
can lift from the foot end of the cot. The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it may be to hold the weight.
The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to extend when the cot is unloaded. An operator
may need help if they are too short or if the patient is too heavy to lift when unloading the cot. If you are a shorter
operator, you may need to raise your arms higher to allow the cot legs to extend
Note:
You can unload an unoccupied cot from a vehicle with one operator.
To unload the cot from a vehicle:
1.
Lift the vehicle bumper, if equipped, to the raised position.
2.
Remove the cot from the cot fastener.
3.
Unload the cot.
