Ambulance Cot Motion

Make sure all the restraint straps are securely buckled around the patient (see page 24 & 25 for restraint strap usage
instructions).
The cot can be in any position for rolling.
When rolling the cot with a patient on it, position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot at all
times.
During transport, approach door sills and/or other low obstacles squarely and lift each set of wheels over the obstacle
separately.
WARNING
High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the ambulance cot to tip, possibly causing injury to
the patient or operator. Transporting the cot in lower positions can reduce the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain
additional assistance (see page 53 for a reference chart) or take an alternate route.
CAUTION
The ambulance cot can be set at any height position. Establish the required load height for the ambulance cot prior to
placing the unit into service (reference page 18 for instructions).
