4.3 Update Your Model 175 Fastener

Model 175 fasteners with removable antler mounts and
serial numbers lower than L-612245 must be updated
to function properly with current Ferno cots. (The serial
number is located on the rail portion of the fastener).
The cot is shipped with parts to update one fastener:
one low-profile mounting block and one short turn
knob. Contact Ferno Customer Relations (page 38) to
order parts to update additional fasteners.
Note: Updated fasteners will still function with older
®
Ferno cots.
Note: Permanently-mounted cot fasteners do not
require updating.
Update your fastener if:
• the antler is removable (attaches to the ambulance
floor with a large turn knob) AND
• the antler is currently attached to the ambulance
floor by an old-style rectangular mounting block
(Figure 5) and knob.
Do not update your fastener if:
• the antler is permanently mounted to the floor by
a bolt OR
• your removable antler already uses the new-style
low-profile mounting blocks (Figure 5)
TO UPDATE YOUR FASTENER
The parts provided allow you to replace the block and
turn knob at the rear of the antler. To update an existing
fastener:
1. Remove the old-style rectangular antler mounting
block and turn knob from the rear of the antler.
2. Position the new-style, low-profile mounting
block (provided) with the sloped end facing
toward the rear of the ambulance as shown in
Figure 6. Secure the antler and new-style
mounting block with the new, short turn knob
provided.
