The vehicle bumper extension should not exceed 14 inches (356 mm).
The compartment should have a level floor large enough for the folded
cot, and a compatible Ferno cot fastener installed.

4.2 Installing the Foot Support

The foot support is shipped disassembled from the cot. To attach:
1. Orient the foot support facing up. (Figure 2). Align the pre-drilled
holes in the foot support with those in the cot frame.
2. Insert the carriage bolts (provided) through the cot frame and
foot support (Figure 2). Repeat on the opposite side of the cot.
3. If needed, use the rubber mallet to tap the carriage bolts until the
flat underside surface of the carriage bolt head is flush against the
main frame tube.
Apply the lock nuts and tighten. Do not over-tighten.

4.3 Mattress and Restraints

Before placing the cot in service, assign appropriate personnel to install
the mattress and restraints (Figure 3).
MATTRESS: The mattress has four hook-and-loop straps attached to
one side. To attach the mattress to the cot, lay the mattress on the cot
with the hook-and-loop strips down. Fasten the straps around adjacent
frame tubes. To remove, separate the hook and loop straps.
RESTRAINTS: A set of two, two-piece restraints is provided. Attach the
restraints only to the cot main frame. Attach the restraints at points
on the cot frame appropriate for securing torso and legs. Follow the
instructions in the restraint users' manuals (supplied).
Keep restraint users' manuals with this manual for future reference. For
additional, free manuals, contact Ferno Customer Service (page 2).
