it does have a manual override lever just like the manual cots. the battery gives a blinking red warning light when you should change the battery. i have never ran into a problem with it yet. it has a feature that if you are parked on uneven ground and the back of the rig is higher then...

got it! our company has one for our rig! gotta love the power cot!!!! makes things much easier for those 300+ pounders! our justification for buying this is that many of the day calls that come in, we only get a driver and an emt. and it makes it alot easier for them to lift them. also...
