Cot Operations
UNLOADING THE COT FROM A VEHICLE WITH TWO OPERATORS
WARNING
Failure to use the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as described
in this manual. To avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the cot from the patient
compartment.
1. Disengage the cot from the cot fastener. (For more detailed instructions, reference the Cot Fastener Operations
Manual − Model 6370).
2. Operator 1 − Grasp the cot frame. Pull the cot out of the patient compartment until the safety bar engages the
safety hook.
3. Operator 2 − Grasp the base frame where indicated, lift slightly, and lower the base frame to its fully extended
position while operator 1 squeezes and holds the release handle.
4. Operator 1 − Let go of the release handle and be sure the undercarriage locks into place.
5. Operator 2 − Disengage the safety bar from the safety hook by pushing the safety bar release lever forward.
6. Remove the cot loading wheels from the vehicle. Place the cot in a rolling position (cot positions 2−7 − see page
19).
CAUTION
Do not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a “hot drop”) when removing the cot from
the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping will cause premature wear or damage to the cot.
WARNING
Be sure the undercarriage has engaged before removing the loading wheels from the patient compartment floor of the
vehicle. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
UNLOADING AN EMPTY COT FROM A VEHICLE WITH ONE OPERATOR
WARNING
This procedure is for use only with an empty cot. Do not use this procedure when unloading a patient. Injury to the
patient and/or operator could result.
1. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position (if possible).
2. Grasp the cot frame at the foot end; pull the cot from the vehicle until the safety bar engages the safety hook.
3. Lower the foot end of the cot to the ground (see Figure 20 on page 26).
4. Squeeze and hold the release handle (A or B − see Figure 21 on page 26) and raise the foot end of the cot
back to a level position with the compartment floor.
5. Disengage the safety bar from the safety hook by pushing the safety bar release lever forward and roll the cot out
of the vehicle.
