You can raise or lower an unoccupied cot with one operator. If a patient is on the cot, a minimum of two trained operators
are required to raise or lower the cot (one located at each end of the cot).
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts. Use caution when you place your hands and feet near the
base tubes to raise or lower the cot.
• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load,
unload, or change the cot height position.
• Do not raise or lower the cot while you are on rough or uneven terrain.
There are two identical cot control switches located on your PPoowweerr--PPRROO 2 cot. Press the button on either of these switches
to raise (extend) the cot, lower (retract) the cot, or release the cot from PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD, if applicable (Figure 10).
