• Always load or unload an occupied cot into a vehicle with a minimum of two trained operators.
• Always use both hands when you handle the cot. PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD is only an assisting device. Evaluate each situation to
determine how to distribute and lift the weight that you are transporting.
• Always make sure that the cot base is extended before you press any buttons on the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD control panel when
you unload the cot.
1. Operator 1: Press and hold the trolley release button at the head end of the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD system.
2. Operator 2: Slide both transfer lock triggers (closest to the foot end) toward the foot end of the transfer assembly to
unlock. With the help of Operator 1, push the cot and transfer firmly out of the vehicle patient compartment.
3. Operator 1: With a screwdriver or similar tool, push on the hook assembly underneath the transfer while Operator 2
pushes the transfer forward toward the head end of the vehicle patient compartment to release the cot from the lock.
4. After the cot is unlocked, pull the cot all the way out.
5. Make sure that the cot base is extended, then lift one of the manual cot release handles at the head end of PPoowweerr--
LLOOAADD to unlock the cot.

• Do not push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment until you fully retract the cot base.
• Do not slam the cot into the trolley when you load the cot to avoid the risk of equipment damage.
• Do not let go of the manual release until the cot locks into position at the foot end. If you let go too early, then the cot
base may prevent the cot from locking into PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD.
1. Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position, if equipped.
2. Raise the lifting arms (Figure 48) to guide and pull the trolley out of the vehicle patient compartment.
