Unloading the Cot from a Vehicle - Manual Method (Continued)
Unloading an unoccupied ambulance cot from a vehicle
can be accomplished by a single operator.
WARNING
The one person loading and unloading procedures are for
use only with an empty ambulance cot. Do not use the
procedures when unloading a patient. Injury to the patient
or operator could result.
Disengage the cot from the cot fastener (For more detailed
instructions, reference the ambulance cot fastener
installation/operation manual - Stryker part number
6370-090-010).
Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if possible).
Grasp the cot frame at the foot end. Pull the manual
release lever to lower the undercarriage to its fully
extended position (Figure 59). Pull the cot out of the
patient compartment until the safety bar engages the
safety hook. Operator two should verify that the bar
engages the safety hook.
Push the safety bar release lever forward to disengage
the safety bar from the safety hook in the patient
compartment.
WARNING
Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot.
Damage to the safety bar could result and injury to the
patient or operator could occur.
Remove the load wheels from the patient compartment of
the vehicle.
CAUTION
When unloading the ambulance cot from the patient
compartment, ensure the caster wheels are safely set on
the ground or damage to the product may occur.
Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the POWER
Pro is used for extended periods in cold temperatures.
When using the manual release function to extend the
base during unloading in cold weather conditions, hold the
release lever engaged for approximately one second after
the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize sagging of the
litter as the cot is removed from the ambulance.
