cot. Do not lubricate points marked with the

those parts, resulting in damage. Lubricate only
the numbered reference points shown.
Use a small amount of lubricant. Lubricate identical points on each side of the cot.

9.9 Adjusting the Amount of Travel of the Foot-End Control Handles

The amount of travel, or "throw," of the foot-end control
handles can be adjusted. Two 7/16" wrenches are
required for this adjustment.
1. Fold the cot and raise the shock frame.
2. Use the two wrenches to loosen and remove the
nuts, washers, and bolt from one end of the control
handle adjustment arm. Loosen the nuts and bolt
at the other end and loosen the adjustment nut.
3. Rotate the adjustment arm to affect the distance
the handles must move to activate the
undercarriage lock. Note: Adjust the arm evenly
at each end so that there will be plenty of threads
of engagement at each end of the adjustment arm.
4. Reattach/tighten all bolts, washers, and nuts.
Recommendation: Adjust the handles so that when
pulled, the control handle just touches the cot main
frame and the ratchet bar is about 1/8" from touching
the inside of the slot (Figure 43).
