Summary of safety precautions
Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
• Always replace the cot fastener if it has been involved in an accident.
• A height limit kit is recommended for vehicle deck heights less than 30 in. (67 cm).
• 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.
• Failure to install the vehicle safety hook may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Always make sure that the safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment to avoid the risk of injury.
• Do not allow the rail clamp to overlap the red adjustment limit label on the rail tube. To prevent the rail jaws from
releasing the cot frame, the space between the rail clamp and the rail stationary jaw must never exceed 1 in. (2.5
cm).
• Do not use hand or fingers to press the release button when the rail jaws are open. The rail clamp fastener closes
with a strong spring action.
• Always test the fastener using AMD Standard 004 as a minimum. Improper testing can result in injury.
• Always wipe the product with clean water and dry after cleaning. Some cleaning products are corrosive in nature
and may cause damage to the product. Failure to properly rinse and dry the product leaves a corrosive residue on
the surface of the product and may cause premature corrosion of critical components.
CAUTION
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in
this manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable
operation resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Always set the cot load height to the proper stop height before operation.
• Always have a certified mechanic, familiar with ambulance vehicle construction, install the vehicle safety hook.
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.
• Do not use screws smaller than the 3/8 in. diameter specified to anchor the floor plates.
• Do not use a screw smaller than the 5/16 in. diameter specified to anchor the wall plate.
