4.2 Updating Your Model 173
Cot Fastener
Model 173 Fasteners with old-style hooks must be
updated to function properly with the 28-Z chair cot.
Fasteners with updated hooks are compatible with all
previous Model 28 chair cots as well as with the 28-Z
chair cot.
Your fastener hook is new style and does not require
updating if it has a lip as illustrated in Figure 1A
Your fastener hook is old-style and requires updating
if there is no lip, as illustrated in Figure 1B. Use Model
173 Fastener Update Kit 082-2134 from Ferno
Customer Relations (page 33).
SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONS
To establish the style of your fastener and take the
correct action, Ferno's Customer Relations
representative will ask for the serial number or numbers
on your fastener hook. Please have the serial number,
or numbers, at hand.
Serial numbers are located as follows:
1. the plate portion of the hook (Figure 1C)
2. the vertical portion of the hook (Figure 1D)
3. both the plate portion
and
the vertical portion of
the hook as in Figures 1C and 1D. (These will be
two different serial numbers.) In this case, the
fastener hook has already been updated.
