• Always keep your hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load, unload, or change the height position of the
cot.
• Always install the in-fastener shut-off system in any emergency vehicle that will be used with this cot and an antler style
cot fastener.
• Always install the cot fastener by qualified personnel only. Improper installation could result in injury to the patient or
operator.
• Always make sure that all cots meet the installation specifications for the Stryker cot fastener system.
• Always adjust the rail clamp assembly to match the cot retaining post position for the cot manufacturer and model
number.
• Always position the in-fastener shut-off before you place the cot into service.
• Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener.
• Always use the in-fastener shut-off to disable the electronic functionality only. Do not use the in-fastener shut-off for any
other purpose.
• Always adjust the mounting location to maintain the proper position of the vehicle safety hook face when you replace an
existing vehicle safety hook with a new style.
• Always have a certified mechanic, familiar with ambulance vehicle construction, install the vehicle safety hook to avoid
injury to the patient or operator.
• Always consult the vehicle manufacturer before vehicle safety hook installation. Make sure that the installation of the
vehicle safety hook does not damage or interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel lines, fuel tank, or electrical
wiring of the vehicle.
• Do not modify the cot or the vehicle safety hook. If the cot safety bar does not connect with the vehicle safety hook in any
of these positions (left, center, or right), modify the vehicle.
• Always make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook every time before vehicle safety hook
installation.
• Always make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment to avoid the risk of injury.
• Always use screws that are long enough to go through the vehicle patient compartment floor, washer, and nut, with at
least two full threads in the nut. The socket head cap screw length depends on the thickness of the vehicle floor.
• Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.
• Always operate the product only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in powered product
mechanisms can cause serious injury.
• Always inspect S S M M R R T T Paks for damage before every use.
