Inspecting the Fastening System

Have your maintenance personnel inspect the fastening system 

regularly. Follow the checklist below and operate the fastening system 

through all its functions as described in this service bulletin or the users’ 

manual.
If inspection shows damage or excessive wear, remove it from service 

until repair is made.
See the recommended Minimum Maintenance table on page 8.

Routine Inspection Checklist

● 

Are all components present?

● 

Is the fastening system free of excessive wear?

● 

Are all parts in good condition (no cracks, corrosion, or 

damage)?

● 

Do all moving parts operate smoothly and properly?

● 

Does the fastening system lock and unlock properly?

● 

Can the cot be loaded into and unloaded from the 

fastening system properly?

● 

Do the antler hooks properly engage the cot loading 

wheel forks (or transport-wheel forks on a Model 30 

Series cot)?

● 

Do the rail jaws firmly lock onto the center of the 

fastener post on the cot?

● 

For removable components: do the components lock 

properly to the floor plates?

● 

Is the fastening-system setup worn? Has exposure to 

the environment caused noticeable damage? Inspect 

the ambulance floor (and wall, for wall-mounted 

components) including beneath the ambulance.

● 

Continue to monitor the integrity of the fastening 

system.

● 

Are the required backing plates present, and are they 

securely welded to primary a structural member of the 

ambulance floor?

● 

Is all hardware tight? Verify the hardware is tight but 

is NOT pulling through the backing plates (See the 

Important notices at right).

 

WARNING

Pressing the detent button with your fingers can cause 

injury. Use caution when lubricating the jaw shaft. Always 

use the cot to activate the detent button.

Important

If the required backing plates are not present, take the 

ambulance out of service and have the backing plates 

installed. Then, install a new fastening system.
Make sure all connections are tight, but do not overtighten. 

Overtightening can cause damage. See “Adjusting the Rail 

Clamp” on page 4.
If inspection indicates components are pulling through the 

backing plates, remove the fastening system. Install a new 

fastening system and new backing plates.
