Notes
• When you press the main power button, the battery power LED also illuminates to indicate that the Power-LOAD
system is on. If the trolley battery is low, a flashing amber error LED may appear.
• Check both the upper and lower cot control switches when you check the cot button functionality.
Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position, if equipped.

Press and hold the retract (-) button on the cot control switch to fully retract the cot undercarriage.
Push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment until it locks at the head end of the vehicle patient

Make sure that the cot is locked into Power-LOAD by firmly pulling side to side on the foot end of the cot.
Press and hold the extend (+) button on the cot control switch to make sure that the cot does not extend in the

Note: Press the retract (-) button on the cot control switch to allow motion in some conditions.
Press and hold the release lever at the foot end of the Power-LOAD system and pull to remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment. Make sure that the lifting arms raise the cot until the cot wheels are off the vehicle
patient compartment floor.
Make sure that the head end LED indicators are solid green. Press and hold the extend (+) button on the cot
control switch to extend the cot until the cot wheels rest on the ground and the cot is no longer supported by the
Power-LOAD lifting arms.
Note: The lifting arms should remain in the full down position after the cot is released from Power-LOAD.
Press the up (↑) button on the Power-LOAD control panel to raise the lifting arms and the cot to the highest
position.

Lift one of the two manual cot release handles at the head end of the trolley to unlock the cot.
Roll the cot away from Power-LOAD.
Raise the lifting arms and push the trolley into the vehicle patient compartment to the transport position. With the
trolley at the head end, allow the arms to lower.
Make sure that the battery power LED is flashing green when the trolley is in the transport position.
Load the Power-LOAD compatible cot without using the load functions to simulate manual loading of the cot into
the vehicle patient compartment. Make sure that the cot locks into place.
Press and hold the release lever at the foot end of the Power-LOAD system and pull to remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment. Make sure that the cot safety bar is connected with the vehicle.

To unlock the trolley, raise the lifting arms and press the trolley release button at the head end of the Power-
LOAD system. Slide the trolley only a few inches toward the foot end.
