(2) Grade 5, 1/4"-20 Flat Socket Head Cap Screws*
(2) Flat Washers

completely through the patient compartment floor, washer
and nut by at least two full threads.
WARNING
Install the safety hook at least 1/8" (3 mm) from the edge of
the rear ambulance door. After installation, verify the cot legs
lock into the load position without contacting the ambulance
bumper.
Positioning and Installing the Safety Hook
9. Place the cot in the cot fastener.
10. Remove the cot from the fastener and unload it from the
vehicle. While the cot is being removed, note the position
of the load wheels and the safety bar.
11. Center the safety hook (Figures 11 & 12) on the cot safety
bar. Be sure the hook is facing the front of the vehicle.
12. Mark the position of the safety hook on the patient
compartment floor. The safety hook should be installed
as close as possible to the rear of the vehicle while
allowing the vehicle doors to close (Figure 12). Be sure
the bumper and bumper step don't interfere with the
operation of the cot.
13. Drill the holes for the socket head cap screws.
14. Attach the safety hook to the patient compartment floor.
15. Verify the safety hook always engages the cot safety bar
when the cot is unloaded from the vehicle (Figure 13). If
the ambulance floor is wider than normal, an additional
safety hook may be required.
WARNING
The ambulance cot must have at least 5/8" (1,6 cm) of
clearance between the ambulance bumper and the cot to
disengage the safety bar when unloading the cot from the
ambulance. Verify the cot locks into a rolling position before
disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook.
