Before vehicle safety hook installation, the certified mechanic should plan for the placement of the vehicle safety hook in the
rear of the vehicle patient compartment.
W W A A R R N N I I N N G G
• 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 you install the vehicle safety hook. 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.
• 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.
• Always have at least 5/8" of clearance between the vehicle bumper and the cot to disengage the safety bar when
unloading the cot from the vehicle. Make sure that the cot legs lock into the loading position before removing the safety
bar from the safety hook. Failure to lock the cot into position may cause injury to the patient or operator and damage to
the cot.

•
(2) Grade 5, minimum 1/4"-20 socket head cap screws * for the short vehicle safety hook or long vehicle safety hook
•
(2) Grade 5, minimum 1/4"-20 flat socket head cap screws * for the J vehicle safety hook
•
(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 that are long enough
to go completely through the patient compartment floor, washer, and nut by at least two full threads.
1. Determine the correct vehicle safety hook front to back and side to side positioning, so the cot safety bar connects to the
vehicle safety hook every time.
• Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, front to back (page 11)
• Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, side to side (page 12)
2. Drill the holes for the screws.
3. Fasten the vehicle safety hook to the vehicle patient compartment floor.
4. Check that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the vehicle patient
compartment.
