3.4 Vehicle Considerations
The cot is designed for use with vehicles having an
●
entry height of 22 to 25 inches (56 to 64 cm), a smooth
entry area and a level floor.
Vehicle features (loose carpet, bumper guards, sill or
●
gap between bumper and floor, etc.) can interfere with
loading and unloading the cot smoothly.
If necessary, modify the vehicle to suit the cot by
●
removing loose carpet, adding sill ramps or gap
fillers, etc.
Never modify the cot and do not modify
operating techniques from those in this manual.
The service life of scuff blocks on the legs may be
●
shortened by contact with rough surfaces or sharp
edges when the cot is rolled in and out of the vehicle.
Ferno recommends covering sharp edges or replacing
them with rounded edges to help reduce wear.
If a heavy load or a soft suspension lowers the vehicle
●
floor height, the operator must raise the rear of the cot to
allow the undercarriage to unfold during unloading.
Air shocks or other devices may be added to the vehicle
●
to maintain floor height.
