COT RETAINING POST REPLACEMENT
Tools Required:
• T30 Torx Driver
• 5/32” Hex Wrench
• Torque Wrench (in-lb)
Procedure:
1. Raise the cot to the full upright position.
2. Turn the cot onto the patient left side.
Note: Locate the arrow that is located on the bottom
bracket. The replacement retaining post bracket will
need to be assembled in the same orientation.
3. Using a T30 Torx driver, remove the two socket head cap screws (A) that secure the current cot retaining post to
the base tube (B) (Figure 65). Discard the screws and cot retaining post.
4. Insert the button head cap screw (C) through the retaining post cap (D) and post tube (E), and then into the top
pin bracket (F) (Figure 65).
5. Using a 5/32” hex wrench, tighten the button head cap screw (C) completely to secure the retaining post cap (D)
and post tube (E) to the top pin bracket (F) (Figure 65). Using a torque wrench, torque the screw to 100-140 in-lb.
6. Assemble the cot retaining post across the base tube. Align the holes of the retaining post halves and insert the
two socket head cap screws into the threaded holes of the retaining post top.
7. Using a T30 Torx driver, tighten the two socket head cap screws completely.
8. Verify proper operation of the unit before returning it to service.
Note: Adjustment of the rail clamp assembly may be required in order to compensate for any variation in cot retaining
post position depending on the ambulance cot manufacturer and model number.
