1.1 Warning
Warning safety alerts indicate a potentially hazardous situation that, if
not avoided, could result in injury or death.
WARNING
Untrained helpers can cause injury or be injured. Trained
operators must operate the controls and direct helpers
where to grasp the cot to avoid pinch points.
Improper use of the cot can cause injury. Use the cot only
for the purpose described in this manual.
Improper operation can cause injury. Operate the cot
only as described in this manual.
An unattended patient can be injured. Stay with the
patient at all times.
An unrestrained patient can be injured. Use properly-
installed patient restraints to secure the patient on the
cot.
Rolling the cot above the factory-set maximum transport
height can cause it to tip. Only roll the cot at or below the
factory-set maximum transport height.
Uncontrolled movement can cause injury or damage.
Support and control the cot at all times.
Sheets or other objects can interfere with, or become
entangled in, the actuator or legs, which can cause injury
and/or malfunction, including unexpected retracting
of the cot legs. Tuck sheets between the mattress and
patient surface. Keep other articles above the mattress.
Rolling the cot sideways can cause it to tip and injure the
patient and/or operators. Roll the cot only toward the
control end or loading end.
Pushing the cot by the backrest can cause it to tip and
injure the patient and/or operators. Roll the cot only by
grasping the main frame.
Trained operators must consider the environment and
terrain before rolling. Rolling the cot in a lowered position
will minimize the potential of a cot tip.
Failure to engage the safety hook during loading or
unloading can cause injury. Operators must visually
ensure each safety bar engages the safety hook and the
cot is secure inside the ambulance before extending or
retracting the legs.
A severe angle can injure the patient and/or operators.
Control the cot when using a direct power mode.
Uncontrolled movement can cause injury or damage.
Support the load before using a manual mode handle.
