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.
Installing the in-fastener shut-off
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.
WARNING
• Always position the in-fastener shut-off before you place the cot into service.
• Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener.
• Always use the in-fastener shut-off to disable the electronic functionality only. Do not use the in-fastener shut-off for
any other purpose.
• Always install the in-fastener shut-off system (if not using a crash-rated cot fastener) in any emergency vehicle that
will be used with this cot.
The cot and antler style cot fastener system have an integrated in-fastener shut-off function that disables the cot motor
when you secure the cot into the cot fastener. Tighten the bolts to secure the fastener before you install the shut-off
bracket. Install the shut-off bracket onto the rail clamp assembly before you place the cot into service.
1. Raise the base and push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment by following the appropriate loading
instructions.
2. Secure the extended head section of the cot into the cot fastener antler.
3. Secure the cot post into the fastener rail clamp.
4. Adjust the shut-off bracket along the rail clamp until the diamond (A) on the sensor housing is lined up with the pop
rivet head (B).
Note: Align the diamond (A) on the sensor housing cover with the pop rivet head (B) on the in-ambulance shut-off.
5. Using a T27 Torx driver, securely fasten the bolts to attach the shut-off bracket to the rail clamp assembly.
6. Press the retract (-) button to make sure that the motor does not turn on while the cot is in the fastener. The cot
battery LED indicator will still illuminate. If the motor turns on, readjust the shut-off bracket.
