• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you load or unload the cot from a vehicle or loading tray
system to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when change the cot height to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the base frame before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor or loading
tray system. An unlocked base frame will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Always practice changing height positions and loading the cot until you fully understand the operation of the product.
• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts. Use caution when placing your hands and feet near the
base tubes while you raise or lower the cot.

• Always make sure that both operators communicate to achieve the intended operation.
• One operator can lower the cot alone by releasing alternate ends of the cot.
Always use additional assistance if needed. A minimum of one trained operator is required for this task. You must be able to
lift the total weight of the patient, cot, and any other items on the cot. The higher you must lift the cot, the more difficult it
becomes to hold the weight. You may need help to load the cot into a vehicle if you are too short or if the patient is too
heavy to safely lift.
