UNLOADING A COT FROM A VEHICLE MANUALLY (POWER-LOAD POWER LOSS OR SYSTEM ERROR)
WARNING
Ǩɣ Loading and/or unloading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators.
Ǩɣ When unloading a cot from the vehicle patient compartment while Power-LOAD is experiencing a power loss or
system error, the operators must be ready to accept the entire weight of the cot and patient.
If Power-LOAD loses power or experiences a system error
after a cot has already been loaded, follow these steps to
unload the cot:
Note: The lifting arms will be in the up position.
1. Press and hold the release lever at the foot end of the
Power-LOAD system and pull to remove the cot from
the vehicle patient compartment as shown in Figure 50.
Note: The lifting arms may not raise the cot. Operators
must be ready to accept the entire weight of the cot.
2. Grasp the cot frame at the foot end to pull the cot out
of the vehicle patient compartment.
For models 6500/6506 and 6510/6516 with the Power-
LOAD option:
Ǩɣ Operator 1 - Grasp the cot frame at the foot end. While supporting the weight of the cot, guide and pull the
cot out of the vehicle patient compartment until the safety bar engages the safety hook. Press and hold the
extend (+) button on the cot control switch to extend the cot undercarriage to the set load height with the cot
wheels on the ground.
Ǩɣ Operator 2 - Verify that the safety bar engages the safety hook and stabilize the cot during the unloading
operation by securely grasping the outer rail. Push the safety bar release lever forward to disengage the
safety bar from the safety hook in the vehicle patient compartment.
For models 6085/6086 with the Power-LOAD option:
Ǩɣ Operator 1 − Grasp the cot frame.
Ǩɣ Operator 2 − Grasp the base frame where indicated, lift slightly, and lower the base frame to its fully extended
position while Operator 1 squeezes and holds the cot manual release. Verify that the cot wheels are on the
ground.
Ǩɣ Operator 1 (Foot End) − Release the cot manual release to lock the undercarriage into the extended position.
WARNING
When unloading the cot, ensure that the cot wheels are on the ground before lowering the arms.
