• 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.
