Loading the Cot into a Vehicle - Powered Method (Continued)
WARNING
When using a standard ambulance cot fastener, do not load the cot into the vehicle with the head section retracted.
Loading the cot with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener,
possibly causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
High Speed Retract/Extend
• The ambulance cot is equipped with a high-speed retract mode to expedite loading/unloading the cot into and out of
a vehicle.
• The undercarriage rapidly retracts towards its uppermost position once the weight of the ambulance cot and patient
is off the wheels. Press the retract (–) button to actuate the control switch.
• The undercarriage rapidly extends towards its lowermost position once the weight of the ambulance cot and patient
is off the wheels. Press the extend (+) button to actuate the control switch.
WARNING
Whenever the weight of the ambulance cot and patient is off the wheels, the ambulance cot will automatically enter the
high speed retract mode if the retract (–) button is pressed.
Once the weight is off the ground, the operator(s) must support the load of the patient, ambulance cot and any
accessories. Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator.
Loading the Cot (occupied) into a Vehicle with Two Operators at the Foot End
Place the cot in a loading position (any position where the loading wheels meet the vehicle floor height). Roll the cot to
the open patient compartment. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if possible).
Push the cot forward until the load wheels are on the patient compartment floor and the safety bar passes the safety
hook.
For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the cot back until the safety bar engages the safety hook. One operator
should remain at the foot end while the second operator engages the safety hook as described above.
The second operator should return to the foot end and both operators should lift the cot while one operator pushes the
retract (–) button until the undercarriage of the cot retracts fully.
Both operators should push the cot into the patient compartment, until the cot engages the cot fastener (not included).
