Vehicle Safety Hook Installation

The vehicle safety hook is a device shipped with
the cot. The safety hook activates the safety bar
and prevents the cot from being removed from the
vehicle accidently.
Installation of the safety hook should be done by
a certified mechanic familiar with ambulance
construction. Consult the vehicle manufacturer
before installing the safety hook and be sure the
installation of the safety hook does not damage or
interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel
lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of the vehicle.
Required Hardware for Installation of the
Safety Hook (Not Supplied)
(2) Grade 5, 1/4"−20 Socket Head Cap Screws*
(2) Flat Washers
(2) Lock Washers
(2) 1/4"−20 Nuts
* The length of the socket head cap screws depends on
the thickness of the vehicle floor. Use screws long
enough to go completely through the patient compart-
ment floor, washer and nut by at least two full threads.
Positioning and Installing the Safety Hook

ing and unfolding of the cot's undercarriage.
5. Drill the holes for the socket head cap screws.

ment floor.
