S Never apply the 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.
S 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 the cot height is changed or the cot may become unstable
possibly resulting in injury to the patient or operator.

releasing your grip on the lift handles
S 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 addition-
al assistance is needed, refer to the reference chart on page 1−20).
S Be sure the undercarriage has engaged and locked before removing the loading wheels from the patient
compartment floor of the vehicle. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the pa-
tient and/or operator could result.
