Loading the Cot into a Vehicle - Manual Method
To load the cot with the manual release:
Place the cot in a loading position (any position where
the loading wheels meet the vehicle floor height). Roll the
cot to the open door of the patient compartment. Lift the
vehicle bumper to the raised position (if possible).
Push the cot forward until the loading wheels are on the
patient compartment floor and the safety bar passes the
safety hook.
For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the cot back
until the safety bar engages the safety hook.

the foot end of the cot until the weight is off the latching
mechanism. Squeeze and hold the release handle.
Operator 2 - Stabilize the cot by placing your hand on the

the undercarriage until it stops in the uppermost position
and hold it there.

engaging the cot fastener (not included).
NOTE
When operating the manual release, avoid rapid lifting or
lowering of the base or movement may appear sluggish;
lift with a slow constant motion.
