Transferring the Patient to the Cot

2. Place the cot beside the patient and raise/lower the cot to the patient's level.
3. Lower the siderails and open the restraint straps.

WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot
and be injured.
Never apply the optional wheel lock while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while
the wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
Rolling the Cot
1. Make sure all the restraint straps are securely buckled around the patient (see page 1-16 & 1-17 for re‐
straint strap usage instructions).
2. Place the cot in positions 2-7 for rolling (see page 1-15 for cot positions).

NOTES
Loose items or debris on the patient compartment floor can interfere with the operation of the safety hook
and cot fastener. Keep the patient compartment floor clear.
The cot can be loaded with the siderails down only if the restraint belts are properly buckled around the patient.

Operating the cot with the breakaway head section lowered may cause injury to the patient or operator or
damage to the cot. Use only positions shown on the Cot Positions page when using this configuration.
