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.

Installation
Installing the cot fastener
The Stryker cot fastener systems are compatible only with cots that conform to the installation specifications.
WARNING
• 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.
Note: You may need to adjust the rail clamp assembly to compensate for any variation in the cot retaining post position
depending on the cot manufacturer and model number.
These instructions are intended for cots with antler style cot fastener systems. For crash-rated cot fasteners, see the
appropriate operations manual for installation instructions.
Selecting the vehicle safety hook
The vehicle safety hook is a device that ships with the cot. The cot safety bar and vehicle safety hook keep the cot from
being accidentally removed from the vehicle and provide increased operator assurance and confidence when loading
and unloading.
Note: These instructions are intended for cots with antler style cot fastener systems. For crash-rated cot fasteners, see
the appropriate operations manual for installation instructions. Crash-rated cot fasteners are shipped and installed with
their own vehicle safety hook, thus no additional hook is needed.
The vehicle safety hook was designed for compatibility and proper operation when loading and unloading the cot from a
vehicle that is compliant with Federal Regulation KKK-A-1822. Stryker offers three different types of vehicle safety
hooks that are ordered and shipped with your cot. These vehicle safety hook types meet the needs of various
emergency vehicle configurations, specifically the length and location of the floor structure support that is located in the
rear of the vehicle.
To select which vehicle safety hook is appropriate for your vehicle configuration:
• Consider the location of the floor structure support where there is adequate room to mount the vehicle safety hook.
• Mount the vehicle safety hook into the back of the vehicle. Provide bumper clearance to allow the operators to load
and unload the cot from the vehicle.
• Note the differences in vehicle design. Each vehicle safety hook provides a different mounting location option to
maintain the appropriate distance between the face of the vehicle safety hook and the edge of the door sill.
Due to the differences in vehicle dimensions and the floor structure support locations, each vehicle safety hook allows
for a different mounting location. Select the correct position for your vehicle safety hook installation.
•Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, front to back on page 1-10
•Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, side to side on page 1-11
Note: When you replace an existing vehicle safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the
proper position of the vehicle safety hook face.

CAUTION
• 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.
The cot is compatible with all vehicle deck heights that meet the Federal Specification for the Star-of-Life Ambulance
KKK-A-1822. See specifications for maximum load height.
According to Federal Specification for the Star-of-Life Ambulance KKK-A-1822:
• The rear of the ambulance shall be furnished with a sturdy, full-width, rear bumper, with step secured to the
vehicle’s chassis frame.
• The tread of the step shall have a minimum depth of 5 in. (13 cm) and a maximum depth of 10 in. (25 cm).
• If the step protrudes more than 7 in. (18 cm) from the rear of the vehicle, a fold-up step shall be furnished.
According to federal regulations (reference KKK-A-1822), the bumper height of the vehicle shall be installed equidistant
2 in. (± 5 cm) from the vehicle floor to the ground level, which is defined as the vehicle deck height. Installation of the
vehicle safety hook into any vehicle compliant with this federal specification provides adequate clearance for the cot
base to lower to its fully extended position.
