• 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 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 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 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.
