ROllING THE COT
When rolling the cot:
•
Place the cot in any position for rolling.
•
Position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot at all times when rolling the cot with a
patient on it.
•
Approach door sills and/or other low obstacles squarely and lift each set of wheels over the obstacle separately.
WARNING
•
Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
•
Never apply the optional wheel lock(s) 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.
•
Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equip-
ment. For best results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
•
High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
•
Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or
take an alternate route.
