• Always use two operators when a cot is occupied.
• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load or
unload the cot or change cot height position.
The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it may be to hold the weight. The operator must be able to lift the
cot high enough for the cot legs to extend when the cot is unloaded. An operator may need help if they are too short or if the
patient is too heavy to lift when unloading the cot. If you are a shorter operator, you may need to raise your arms higher to
allow the cot legs to extend.
N N o o t t e e - - You can load an unoccupied cot into a vehicle with one operator.
To load the cot into a vehicle:
1. Place the cot in a loading position. A loading position is any position where the load wheels meet the vehicle floor height.
2. Lift the vehicle bumper, if equipped, to the raised position.
3. Roll the cot to the open door of the vehicle patient compartment.
4. Push the cot forward until the load wheels are on the vehicle patient compartment floor and the cot safety bar passes
the vehicle safety hook.
5. Pull the cot back until the cot safety bar connects to the vehicle safety hook for maximum clearance to lift the base.
6. Make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook.
7. Load the cot.
