Loading An Empty Cot Into A Vehicle With One Operator - Powered Method - Stryker Power-PRO IT Manuel D'utilisation

LOADING AN EMPTY COT INTO A VEHICLE WITH ONE OPERATOR - POWERED METHOD

English
Loading an unoccupied cot into the emergency vehicle can be accomplished by a single operator.
WARNING
• The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the procedures
when loading/unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and
unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.
To load an empty cot into a vehicle with one operator:
1. Place the cot into a loading position (any position
where the load wheels of the head section meet the
vehicle floor height).
2. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if
equipped).
3. Roll the cot to the open door of
the patient compartment.
4. Push the cot forward until the load wheels are on the
patient compartment floor and the safety bar passes
the safety hook.
5. For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the cot
back until the safety bar engages the safety hook.
6. Grasp the cot frame at the foot end and press the
retract (–) button, until the undercarriage of the cot
retracts into its highest position as shown in Figure 21).
7. Push the cot into the patient compartment until the cot
engages the cot fastener (not included).
WARNING
When using a 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.
