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.

Installation checklist

English

Follow this checklist with a Stryker Ambulance Cot Fastener Model 6370/6371/6377/6378/6391/6393 compatible cot.

Make sure that you do not have any unused components after installation. Your Stryker Ambulance Cot Fastener does not ship with any extra components. If you have any unused components after installation, call Stryker service.

Visually check that all bolts and screws are tightened with no signs of protruding or missing fasteners.

Lift the vehicle bumper to the raised position, if equipped.

Load the compatible cot into the cot fastener (see Cot compatibility on page 1-6).

Make sure that the cot is locked into the cot fastener by pulling in and out and side to side on the foot end of the cot.

Pull to remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment. Make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the vehicle patient compartment.

Operation

Mass casualty incident planning

You must use the Power-LOAD system, 6370 antler assembly (6370-230-038), or 6378 antler assembly (6378-030-038) for mass casualty incidents.

WARNING

• 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.

The mass casualty cot fasteners include a rail assembly for wall or floor mount. You should store this rail assembly in a cabinet in case of emergency for quick attachment in the vehicle patient compartment.

See Figure 1-22 on page 1-23.

Adjusting the rail assembly

Adjustment of the rail assembly may be required to compensate for slight variation in the position of the cot post.

WARNING

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).

To vertically adjust the rail assembly (Figure 1-23 on page 1-24):

1. Remove the rail clamp (A) and rail assembly (B) from the existing mounting holes.

2. Move the rail clamp and rail assembly to the set of holes that align the clamp jaws (C) with the cot post.

3. Position the rail assembly front to back. Adjustment is limited to 1/2 in. front to back or 1 in. total movement. Note: Do not overlap the adjustment limit label (D) on the rail assembly.

4. When adjustment is complete, rotate the rail assembly so the jaws are parallel with the floor.

Adjusting the rail assembly (Continued)

5. Tighten the mounting screws until the rail clamp is drawn firmly against the support bracket.

6. Push the rail handle (E) forward until the release button engages and the jaws lock in the open position.

7. Guide the cot into the fastener at a slight angle by connecting the loading wheels with the antler one at a time (Figure 1-24 on page 1-25).

WARNING

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.

8. Move the foot end of the cot sideways until the cot post enters the rail jaws and presses the release button. The rail

jaws will close, locking the cot securely in position. Note: Cot bedding may prevent attendants from seeing the rail jaws close around the cot post. Make sure that the

cot is locked into the fastener by firmly pulling side to side on the foot end of the cot.

9. Use one hand to push the rail handle forward far enough for the jaws to release the cot post. With the other hand,

grasp the cot and roll it away from the rail.
