Maneuvering The Cot In A Confined Area - Ferno 24 User Manual

5.6 Maneuvering the Cot
In a Confined Area
The cot can be rolled in a tilted position for easier maneuvering in
confined spaces such as narrow hallways, elevators, or stairways (Figure
7). Maintain control of the cot at all times.
To roll the cot in a tilted position:
1. Fasten and adjust the restraints to secure the body on the cot.
Use additional restraints if necessary, following your mortuary
protocols.
2. Lower the cot to the lowest position. Lower the loading end
first, then the operator end, so the legs will lock into place in the
configuration shown.
3. Stand at the operator end of the cot, grasp the main-frame and
lift the cot onto its loading wheels and front transport wheels. Roll
the cot in this position (Figure 7).
4. Use additional help as needed to lift, hold, and push the cot. See
"Using Additional Help" on page 7.
