• Always transport the cot at a lower height to reduce the risk of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take
an alternate route.
• Always avoid high obstacles, such as curbing, steps, or rough terrain to avoid the risk of the product tipping over.
To roll the cot with a patient:
1. Position one operator at the foot end and one operator at the head end of the cot.
2. Make sure that the litter is perpendicular when you approach door sills or other low obstacles.
3. Lift each set of wheels over the door sill or obstacle separately.
