WARNING
This procedure is for use only with an empty cot. Do not use
this procedure when loading a patient. Injury to the patient and/
or operator could result.

the load wheels meet the vehicle floor height – see page

2. Roll the cot to the open door of the patient compartment.
3. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if possible).
4. Push the cot forward until the loading wheels are on the
compartment floor and the safety bar passes the safety
hook.
5. Pull the cot back until the safety bar engages the safety
hook.
6. Grasp the cot frame at the foot end and squeeze and hold
the release handle (A or B) (Figure 19).
7. Lower the foot end of the cot to the ground, making sure
the cot locks in position 1 (Figure 20).
8. Lift the foot end of the cot until it is level with the
compartment floor.
9. Grasp the base of the cot with one hand and pull up the
base of the cot towards the litter, reducing the space
