The Stryker Model 6373, 6376, and 6381 cot fastener systems are equipped with a two-stage locking device. In the unlikely
event the vehicle is involved in an accident, the two-stage locking device at the head end of the fastener will deploy to lock
the head end of the cot in the cot fastener system until you manually release the cot.
To release the cot from the two-stage locking device, pull both of the red release knobs (B) on the inside of the front
retaining hooks (C) (Figure 14).
