Loading The Cot Into A Vehicle - Stryker 6100 RUGGED M1 Bedienungsanleitung

Cot Operation
Loading the Cot into a Vehicle
WARNING
The caster steer lock knob and the casters must be in the locked position when loading/unloading the cot from
a vehicle or loading tray system and when changing cot height positions or the cot may become unstable
possibly resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
Loading, unloading and changing the position of the cot requires a minimum of one trained operator. The
operator(s) must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any other items on the cot. (If additional
assistance is needed, see the reference chart on page 1−20).
The higher the operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. The operator may
need help loading the cot into a vehicle if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy for the operator to
lift safely. If additional assistance is needed, see the reference chart on page 1−20.
The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot's base frame to unfold completely and lock
when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator will have to raise his/her arms higher to enable the base frame
to unfold. If additional assistance is needed, see the reference chart on page 1−20.
Place the cot in the loading position (see page 1−17). Roll the cot to the vehicle or loading tray system until
the cot's loading wheels are in the vehicle or loading tray system. Guide the cot forward until the cot's front
legs contact the rear of the vehicle or loading tray system.
At the foot end of the cot, push and hold the green safety release button and squeeze and hold the green
release handle.
Guide the cot into the vehicle or loading tray system (the front legs will fold back) until the rear legs come in
contact with the vehicle or loading tray system. Relax your grip on the green release handle and green button.
Lift the foot end of the cot slightly to take the weight off the rear wheels. Squeeze and hold the red release
handle and guide the cot into the vehicle or loading tray system (the rear legs will fold back) engaging the
cot fastener system.
NOTE
Loose items or debris on the patient compartment floor can interfere with the smooth rolling of the cot and
the operation of the cot fastener. Keep the patient compartment floor clear.
