13. Confirm that the mounting block at the loading end
is as far to the loading end as possible (against the
bumper glide casting).
14. Permanently secure the lock casting to the cot with
the roll pin. To do this:
• Tighten the lock casting completely to prevent
movement.
• Use a drill and the #25 bit to drill a hole straight
through the lock casting and cot tubing (Figure 12).
• Use a hammer to insert the roll pin and drive it
through the casting and tubing (Figure 13). Drive
the roll pin until it is flat against the casting, with
no excess visible (Figure 14). Use a sander or file
to remove burrs and rough edges.

15. Repeat Steps 1-13 to install the second sidearm.
16. Test the function of the sidearms before placing the
cot in service.
Using the Sidearm
To lower the sidearm, pull the lock pin and swing the
sidearm down.
To raise a sidearm, swing it up. When fully raised, the
sidearm automatically locks into position.
Keep the sidearms raised except for when you transfer a
body onto or off of the cot. Do not fold the cot with the
sidearms lowered.
Maintaining the Sidearms
Disinfecting and cleaning: Follow the disinfecting and
cleaning instructions in the 24-MAXX users' manual.
Inspecting: Inspect the sidearms regularly, at the same
time as you inspect the cot. Look for excessive wear or
damage. Verify that the sidearms rotate properly and the
lock pin functions properly.
Lubricating: Lubricate the lock pin with a small amount
of WRL-191-S synthetic lubricant when needed. Do not
lubricate the sidearm bearings - they are nylon and should
not be lubricated.
