lOADING ThE COT INTO A VEhIClE WITh TWO OPERATORS - POWERED METhOD

Loading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum
of two (2) trained operators.
WARNING
• Two operators must be present when the cot is
occupied.
• Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the
patient, cot and any items on the cot.
• The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more
difficult it becomes to hold the weight. An operator
may need help loading the cot if he/she is too short
or if the patient is too heavy to lift safely. The operator
must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot
legs to unfold completely and lock when the cot is
unloaded. A shorter operator needs to raise their arms
higher to enable the undercarriage to unfold.
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands
should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading
and unloading the cot.
• There must be a safety hook properly installed in the
vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with the
front legs of the base frame.
• Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury to the
patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as
described on page 1-28.
To load the cot into a vehicle with two operators:
1. Place the cot in a loading position (any position where
the load wheels 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 compartment floor and the safety bar passes the
safety hook as shown in Figure 14.
5. For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the cot
back until the safety bar engages the safety hook.
6. Operator 2 − Verify that the bar engages the safety
hook.
7. Operator 1 − Grasp the cot frame at the foot end and
press the retract (–) button until the undercarriage of
the cot retracts fully as shown in Figure 15.
8. Operator 2 − Securely grasp the cot outer rail to
stabilize the cot during retraction.
9. Both Operators − Push the cot into the patient
compartment as shown in Figure 16, engaging the cot
fastener (not included).
WARNING
When using a standard 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.
