battery requires approximately 10 hours to recharge. The batteries charge whenever the trolley is locked into the head
end of the vehicle patient compartment.
To charge the battery:
1. Raise the lifting arms and manually push the trolley into the head end of the vehicle patient compartment.
2. Lock the trolley at the head end of the vehicle patient compartment.
Note: The battery power LED flashes green when the battery is charging.
To check the battery power level, see “Checking the Battery Power Level”.
Note: If Power-LOAD will not be in use for a week or more, press the main power button to turn the unit off and avoid
draining the battery.
WARNING
Do not press the main power button to turn the unit off during normal use as it will prevent battery charging.
STORING POWER-LOAD
All batteries lose charge during storage or periods of inactivity. If Power-LOAD will not be in use for a week or more,
press the main power button to turn the unit off and avoid draining the battery.
SETTING THE COT LOAD HEIGHT

page 14. See the Operations/Maintenance
Manual for your cot for more information about how to set the appropriate cot height.
