Cot Load Height and "Jog" Function
Figure 4a - Sensor Housing
Figure 4c - Adjusting the height
The control mechanism of the ambulance cot utilizes height sensors to set the load height stop for the cot. The sensors
are used to match the load wheel height for a specific ambulance deck height.
The ambulance cot can be set from 26" to 36" (66 cm to 91,4 cm). Establish the height for the cot prior to placing the unit
into service. The load height of the ambulance cot can be modified at anytime, but must be determined and set before
the cot is placed into service.
1.
Locate the sensor housing on the patient right side of the ambulance cot (Figure 4a), using a T27 Torx wrench,
remove the sensor housing cover by loosening the two (2) screws (one on each end) (Figure 4b).
2.
Adjust only the left height sensor (Figure 4c). Move the sensor to the left to increase the load wheel height or to the
right to decrease the load wheel height. After each movement of the cot height sensor, lower the cot to the full-down
position then raise it until it automatically stops. Measure the distance below the load wheels and further adjust the
cot sensor until the product reaches the desired height limit to match the ambulance floor height.
NOTE
Add an additional 1/2" (1,3 cm) to your deck height measurement to allow for variations with patient weight and other
equipment added to the cot.
3.
After the proper load wheel height is set, ensure all the height sensor cables are secured and lie flat in the housing
(Figure 4d) between the sensors and replace the sensor housing cover using the screws removed in step 1.
4.
Following completion of the sensor height adjustment, verify the cot properly engages the safety hook.
