5.3 Touch Pad Controls

Large touch-pads on the control panel (Figure 9) operate
the hydraulic power system. Grasp the main frame and
position your hands so you can access the touch pads
with your thumbs.
Press the blue touch pad on the operator's left to lower
the cot, fold the cot, or load the cot into an ambulance.
Press the green touch pad on the operator's right to
raise the cot or extend the legs when unloading the cot
from an ambulance.
Use the following memory aid to remember the touch
pad functions:

EFT = OWER or
R R
IGHT = AISE or UNLOAD
Note: Press any part of the colored area of the touch
pad to operate the cot (Figure 10).
The control panel and foot-end lift bar can be adjusted
to position the switches at a comfortable height for the
operator. See Adjustable Foot-End Lift Bar, page 21.

5.4 Battery Charge Indicator

The red light on the battery charge indicator (Figure
11) indicates the approximate amount of battery power
remaining. Be aware that:
• when the red light is at the right of the display,
the battery is fully charged. When the red light is
at the left, the battery power is very low.
• the rate of speed for raising and lowering the cot
is faster when the batteries are fully charged.
• the batteries do not have a "memory" and do
not need to be discharged before recharging.
Recharge the batteries as often as possible.
To recharge the batteries, see Battery Charger, page
17, or Charging the Batteries, page 36.
