1 - SAFETY INFORMATION

1.2 Important

Important notices emphasize important usage or
maintenance information.
Important
Squeezing the undercarriage control handle
when unfolding or unloading the cot will prevent
the undercarriage from locking. Do not use this
handle when unfolding or unloading the cot.

1.3 Bloodborne Disease Notice

To reduce the risk of exposure to bloodborne diseases
such as HIV-1 and hepatitis when using the cot, follow
the disinfecting and cleaning instructions in this manual.

1.4 Cot and Fastener Compatibility

Combining different manufacturers' products into a
"mixed-component" cot/cot fastener system can
increase the user's risk of injury and damage.
Ferno-Washington, Inc. strongly recommends that only
Ferno-manufactured cots be used in Ferno-
manufactured cot fasteners, and that only Ferno-
manufactured cot fasteners be used for securing Ferno-
manufactured cots in ambulances.
ANY COMBINATION OF A FERNO COT OR COT
FASTENER WITH A NON-FERNO COT OR COT
FASTENER IS MISUSE OF THE FERNO PRODUCT.
Responsibility for the outcome of known, intentional
misuse rests squarely on the misuser.
