Applying or releasing a wheel lock
WARNING
• Do not apply a wheel lock when a patient is on the product or when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.
• Do not install or apply a wheel lock on a product with worn wheels that are less than 6 in. diameter.
• Do not leave a patient or occupant unattended. Hold the product while a patient or occupant is on the product.
To apply a wheel lock, press down on the pedal until it stops and is resting against the surface of the wheel.
To release a wheel lock, press down on the top of the pedal with your foot or lift up on the pedal with your toe. The top of the pedal will rest against the caster frame when you release the wheel lock.

Applying or releasing a wheel lock (Continued)
Note: Wheel locks help prevent the product from rolling while unattended. Wheel locks may not provide sufficient
resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
Applying or releasing the caster Steer-Lock
The Steer-Lock feature applies the head end casters to improve steering control, when needed. You can release the Steer-Lock to allow for free swiveling for greater mobility.
WARNING
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you load or unload the cot from a vehicle or loading tray system to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you change the cot height to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
CAUTION
Do not apply the Steer-Lock and attempt to push the product sideways.
Notes
• You can apply or release the caster Steer-Lock from either side of the base frame.
• Always release the caster Steer-Lock when you load the product into the cot fastener. This allows the head end casters to swivel freely so that the head end of the cot aligns with the fastener.
To apply the Steer-Lock, rotate the red locking knob into the locked position. Push the cot forward so the head end casters swivel and lock into position.
To release the Steer-Lock, rotate the red locking knob into the unlocked position. Push the cot in any direction. Make sure that the casters swivel freely.

Changing cot height with the optional base head end retractable lifting handles
WARNING
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you load or unload the cot from a vehicle or loading tray system to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the caster Steer-Lock knob and casters when you change the cot height to avoid the risk of the product tipping.
• Always lock the base frame before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor or loading tray system. An unlocked base frame will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until you fully understand the operation of the product.
Notes
• Always make sure that both operators communicate to achieve the intended operation.
• One operator can lower the cot alone by releasing alternate ends of the cot.
Always use additional assistance if needed. A minimum of one trained operator is required for this task. You must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot, and any other items on the cot. The higher you must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. You may need help to load the cot into a vehicle if you are too short or if the patient is too heavy to safely lift.
See Positioning operators and helpers on page 1-17.
To change the cot height:
1. Pivot the retractable lifting handles (A) into position (Figure 1-9 on page 1-22).
2. Position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot.
3. Grasp the hand grips on the base unit.
4. Lift the cot up approximately 1/4 in. until the weight is off of the latching mechanism.
5. Squeeze and hold the red release handle to raise or lower the cot to the desired height.
6. Release grip on the release handle to stop the cot in the next available cot position.

Securing the patient with the restraint straps
WARNING
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot.
• Do not attach restraint straps to the base tubes or cross tubes.
CAUTION
Do not entangle the restraint straps in the base frame when you raise or lower the cot.
Secure restraint straps to the cot in the required attachment locations (Figure 1-11 on page 1-24 and Figure 1-12 on
page 1-24). Restraint strap attachment locations should provide strong anchorage and proper restraint position. Do not
allow restraint straps to interfere with equipment or accessories. Buckle the restraint straps across the patient’s shoulders, waist, and legs. Buckle restraint straps when the cot is not in use.
To install the restraints:
1. Wrap the restraint strap around the cot frame.
2. Push the restraint strap buckle through the loop.
3. Pull the buckle around the loop to secure the restraint strap to the cot.

Adjusting restraint straps
Open the restraint straps and place them at either side of the cot while you position the patient on the cot mattress. Lengthen the restraint straps, buckle them around the patient, and shorten them to tighten.
• To open the restraint strap, press the red button on the front of the buckle receiver. This allows you to release the buckle latch plate and pull it out of the receiver.
• To close the restraint strap, push the latch plate into the receiver until you hear a click.
• To lengthen the restraint strap, grasp the buckle latch plate, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out. A hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the latch plate from coming off of the strap.
• To shorten the restraint strap, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the latch plate to tighten.
When you buckle a restraint strap around a patient, secure the latch plate and remove any loose webbing from the cot.
Inspect the restraint straps at least once a month (more if used often). Check for a bent or broken receiver or latch plate, or torn or frayed webbing. Replace any worn or inoperable restraint strap.
