cot requires a minimum of two (2) operators, positioned
at each end of the ambulance cot. Each operator must
grasp the ambulance cot frame securely.
Disengage the cot from the cot fastener (For more
detailed instructions, reference the ambulance cot
fastener installation/operation manual - Stryker part

Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if
equipped).
Operator 1 - Grasp the ambulance cot frame at the
foot end. Pull the manual release lever to lower the
undercarriage to its fully extended position (Figure

the safety bar engages the safety hook. Operator two
should verify that the bar engages the safety hook.
WARNING

safety hook before removing the ambulance cot from the
patient compartment.
Operator 2 - Stabilize the cot during the unloading
operation by securely grasping the outer rail.

the vehicle.
