In the event of loss of electrical function, you can use the cot manual override. This allows manual operation of the product
until the restoration of the electrical, powered functions. Use the red manual back-up release handle to raise or lower the
cot.
The manual back-up release handle is located is along the patient left side of the lower lift bar at the foot end of the cot.
To raise or lower the cot with the manual back-up release handle:
1. Both operators: Lift the cot during the raise or lower operation to support the weight of the cot at each end.
2. Operator 1 (foot end):
a. Pull the manual back-up release handle toward the lift bar.
b. While pulling the manual back-up release handle, raise or lower the cot to the desired position.
c. Release the handle to lock the cot into position
NNoottee
• Both operators must lift the cot weight off of the wheels to use the manual extend or retract while a patient is on the cot.
• Activation of the manual back-up release handle may cause the cot to lower at a slow rate if less than 50 lb (23 kg) are
on the cot.
• Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the cot is used for extended periods in cold temperatures. When using
the manual back-up release function to extend the base, while unloading in cold weather conditions, hold the manual
back-up release handle for approximately one second after the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize sagging of the
litter as you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment.
