ADJUSTING THE HEIGHT OF THE COT WITH TWO OPERATORS
WARNING
• Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury . Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts . To avoid in-
jury, use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot .
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips . Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and
unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators .
• When operating the side release handle, keep hands away from the foot end release handle to avoid injury .
You can raise or lower an unoccupied cot with one operator . If a patient is on the cot, a minimum of two (2) trained
operators (one located at each end of the cot) are required to raise or lower the of the cot .
To raise or lower the cot from the ends:
1 . The operator at the foot end of the cot squeezes the release handle (A or B) while a secure grip is maintained on
the lifting bars (see Figure 13) .
2 . Both operators must lift the cot until the weight is off the latching mechanism (approximately 1/4") .
3 . The operator at the foot end squeezes and holds the release handle and both operators then raise or lower the cot
together . The handle is released when the desired position is reached . Both operators should maintain a secure
grip on the litter frame until the latching mechanism is securely locked into position .
To raise or lower the cot from the sides:
1 . Check the cot to determine if the
side release handle is on the patient
left or right side .
2 . The operator on the patient's right
or left (depending on the location
of the release handle) reaches the
release handle at the midpoint of
the litter (C) . Both operators must
lift the cot until the weight is off the
latching mechanism (approximately
1/4") (see Figure 13) .
3 . The operator at the patient's right or
left (depending on the location of the
release handle) squeezes and holds
the release handle . Both operators
then raise or lower the cot together .
The handle is released when the
desired position is reached .
operators should maintain a secure
grip on the litter frame until the
latching mechanism is securely
locked into position .
