• 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.
• Always make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment to avoid the risk of injury.
• Do not pull or lift on the cot safety bar when you unload the cot.
• Always lock the undercarriage before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor. An
unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Do not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a hot drop) when you remove the cot from
the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping causes premature wear or damage to the cot.
