• Always use two operators when a cot is occupied.
• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load or
unload the cot or change cot height position.
• Do not pull or lift on the cot safety bar when you unload the cot.
• Always lock the undercarriage before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor. An
unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Do not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a hot drop) when you remove the cot from
the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping causes premature wear or damage to the cot.
• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts. Use caution when placing your hands and feet near the
base tubes while you raise or lower the cot.
• Always keep hands away from the foot end release handle when you raise or lower the cot with the side release handle.
• Always remove your foot from the base tube when you lower the cot to the lowest position.
• Do not use siderails as a patient restraint device.
• Do not operate the cot with the breakaway head section lowered to avoid injury to the patient or operator or damage to
the cot. Use only positions 5-7 with this configuration.
• Always secure the defibrillator platform to the product when you use the defibrillator platform.
• Always use and adjust the straps that are provided with the defibrillator platform to secure the defibrillator.
• Always use any appropriate personal protective equipment while power washing to avoid inhaling contagion. Power
washing equipment may aerate contamination.
• Always clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components to avoid the risk of exposure to blood borne
pathogens and injury to the patient or the operator.
