4.4 Attaching the Harness
BRACKET BUTTON SYSTEM
A metal button is affixed to the end of each harness shoulder strap and
waist strap. The buttons seat into metal keyhole brackets mounted on
the cot main frame to secure the restraint on the cot.
The brackets are located on the inside (patient side) of the main frame,
where the backrest and bed seat sections meet (Figure 3). Each bracket
has two keyholes: one for the shoulder strap and one for the waist strap.
The restraint keeper is a spring-loaded piece of metal that assists with
holding the restraints in place (Figure 3).
ATTACHING THE WAIST STRAPS
1. Lower the sidearms and raise the backrest.
2. Separate the restraint into its component pieces.
3. Pull the restraint keeper outward slightly to access the keyhole
bracket (Figure 3). Hold it in this position while completing Step 4.
4. Working from the inside (closest to the patient surface), insert the
waist-strap button into the bracket keyhole closest to the control
end of the cot. Pull the button firmly upward to seat it in the
narrow portion of the keyhole (Figure 4).
5. Release the restraint keeper.

Attaching Waist Straps
Attach the waist straps to the keyhole bracket
nearest the control end of the cot.
Pressing the rear of the strap/button against
the bracket as you pull upward will help seat
the button in the bracket.
The restraint keeper helps prevent accidental
removal of the restraints from the bracket.
4.3 Attaching the Leg Restraint
Restraint brackets are provided for attaching the two-piece leg restraint.
1. Unbuckle the restraint, separating it into its two straps.
2. Raise the shock frame.
3. Thread the loop end of the strap through the bracket attached
under the shock frame, then pass the receiver or tang-end of the
restraint through the loop (Figure 2).
4. Pull the strap to tighten the knot against the bracket.
5. Adjust the length of the restraint so it can be easily buckled.
