WARNING / CAUTION / NOTE DEFINITION
The words WARNING, CAUTION and NOTE carry special meanings and should be carefully reviewed.
WARNING
The personal safety of the patient or user may be involved. Disregarding this information could result in injury
to the patient or user.
CAUTION
These instructions point out special procedures or precautions that must be followed to avoid damaging the
equipment.
NOTE
This provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions clearer.
WARNING
Patients should be discouraged from sitting directly on the ends of the stretcher. Excessive weight will cause
the litter surface to tip up, possibly causing patient injury.

Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Ap-
propriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or
quaternary type disinfectants can be used. Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use be-
cause staining may result. The following products have been tested and have been found not to have a harm-
ful effect WHEN USED IN ACCORDANCE WITH MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDED DILUTION.*

Quaternary Germicidal Disinfectants, used as directed, and/or Chlorine Bleach products, typically 5.25% So-
dium Hypochlorite in dilutions ranging between 1 part bleach to 100 parts water, and 2 parts bleach
to 100 parts water are not considered mild detergents. These products are corrosive in nature and
may cause damage to your stretcher if used improperly. If these types of products are used to clean
Stryker patient handling equipment, measures must be taken to insure the stretchers are rinsed with clean
water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and dry the stretchers will leave a cor-
rosive residue on the surface of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components.
NOTE
Failure to follow the above directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.
REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS
This solution may be used to remove iodine stains from mattress cover and foam footrest pad surfaces.
1. Use a solution of 1–2 tablespoons Sodium Thiosulfate in a pint of warm water to clean the stained area.
Clean as soon as possible after staining occurs. If stains are not immediately removed, allow solution to
soak or stand on the surface.
2. Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning bed to service.

PNEUMATIC FOWLER ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
3/32 Hex Allen Wrench 5/8 Open End Wrench
1/8 Hex Allen Wrench Channel Lock Pliers
3/16 Hex Allen Wrench Towel or Cloth
7/16 Open End Wrench Thread ”Locktite”
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Refer to drawing 1020–31–10 (Pneumatic Fowler Assembly, page 57).
2. For easier access, move Fowler to 75 degrees or higher.
3. Using a 3/32 hex Allen wrench, remove set screws (R), located in center of yokes (E).
4. Wrap a towel or cloth around the gas cylinder actuator shaft(s) so as not to mark the shaft. Using channel
lock pliers, turn actuator shaft(s) into yoke(s) (E) until tight.
5. Using thread locktite, reinstall set screws (R).
6. While holding the jam nut spacers (H) with a 5/8 open end wrench, turn the adjustment screws (J) using
a 3/16 hex Allen wrench until they JUST touch the cylinder pins.
7. Bring the Fowler fully down, and with the handle fully released, using a 1/8 hex Allen wrench, tighten the
bottom set screws (P) so the handle is lifted 1/8–1/4 inch above the spine tube. Both set screws must
touch the handle. Using a 7/16 open end wrench, tighten the jam nuts (O) on these set screws.
8. Be sure the Fowler will travel from flat to at least 90 degrees. If it doesn’t, turn each adjustment screw (J)
clockwise 1/2 turn. Repeat until at least 90 degrees of travel is achieved.
9. Lower the Fowler to a 5–10 degree angle and release the handle. Apply approximately 50 pounds down-
ward to the end of the Fowler. If either side drifts down, turn the adjustment screw (J) on that side 1/4
turn counterclockwise. Repeat until the Fowler is firm with 50 pounds applied.
10. While holding the adjustment screws (J), tighten the jam nut spacers (H).

Adjustment Procedure:
1. Using a 1/8 hex Allen wrench, adjust the hex Allen screw located on the latch assembly opposite the latch.
Turning the screw clockwise will DECREASE the amount of ”play”in the latching mechanism. Turning
counterclockwise will INCREASE the amount.
NOTE
The amount of ”play”in the siderail, when in full up engaged position, should be approximately 1/8 to 3/16”.
CAUTION
Too much ”play”when the siderail is in the full up engaged position will give the siderail the appearance of
being unstable and could also cause premature wearing of the latch system.
Too little ”play”will obstruct the latch and keep it from engaging completely in the full up position, which may
cause damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user.

PEDAL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT –DUAL SIDE CONTROL BASE
Required Tools:
3/32 Hex Allen Wrench
7/16 Open End Wrench
1/2 Open End Wrench
(2) Wooden blocks (10 –12 inches in length)
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Pump the litter up to full height.
2. Lift the base hood, separating the hood from the base frame. Using the wooden blocks, support the base
hood.
3. To adjust the foot end descent pedal, use a 5/32 hex Allen wrench to loosen the set screw (C) in the stop
collar (D) on the release rod. Hold the pedal parallel to the floor and slide the collar up to the bracket on
the release rod. Tighten the set screw on the stop collar. Be sure the head end and foot end descent
pedals are level with each other. Repeat for the head end pedal, if necessary.
4. Once the pedals are level, be sure the paddle on the end of the release rod for the foot end jack is slightly
touching the actuating stem on the jack base. If it is not, use a 3/32 hex Allen wrench to loosen the set
screw on the paddle hub. Adjust the paddle to JUST touch the stem of the jack. Tighten the set screw
in the paddle hub. Repeat for the head end jack, if necessary.
5. Depress the pedal for the foot end jack. The jack should start to descend about the same time the paddle
on the end of the rod contacts the sleeve on the jack actuating stem. The bracket on the foot pedal body
should hit the stop screw (B). Any further movement could cause damage to the stem components inside
the jack housing. To adjust the stop screw, use a 1/2 open end wrench to loosen the hex jam nut (A).
Turn the screw and re–tighten the hex jam nut. Repeat for the head end jack.
6. Pump the litter up to full height.
7. Step on both descent pedals at the same time. Both ends of the litter should lower with the foot end lower-
ing slightly faster than the head end. If it does not, refer to the procedure for adjusting the jack descent
rate.
8. Remove the wooden blocks supporting the base hood. Use the pedal cut–outs on the side of the hood
as a guide for proper re–positioning.

PEDAL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT –DUAL END CONTROL BASE
Required Tools:
7/16 Open End Wrench
1/2 Open End Wrench
(2) Wooden Blocks (10 –12 inches in length)
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Pump the litter up to full height.
2. Lift the base hood, separating the hood from the base frame. Using the wooden blocks, support the base
hood.
3. The descent pedals should be level with each other and there should be approximately 4 inches between
the floor and the bottom of the pedal. To raise the pedal height, use a 1/2 open end wrench to loosen the
hex jam nut (E). Using your hand, turn the screw (D) into the bracket. To lower the pedal height, loosen
the screw. Tighten the hex jam nut (E) after the correct height is achieved.
4. Once the pedals are level, the release rod can be adjusted. Using a 7/16 wrench, turn nut (B) clockwise
to shorten the release length and counterclockwise to increase the length.
5. Depress the pedal and be sure the jack descent is triggered when the pedal is approximately one inch from
the floor. The descent should stop when the pedal is released and the jack height should hold. Repeat
the above procedures for the descent pedal at the other end of the bed.
6. After adjusting each descent pedal individually, depress both pedals at the same time. Both jacks should
start descending when the pedals are approximately one inch from the floor. The foot end should lower
slightly faster than the head end. If it does not, see procedure for adjusting the jack descent rate.
7. Remove the wooden blocks supporting the base hood and secure the hood to the base frame.

HYDRAULIC TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE
Be sure the pedal linkage has been adjusted properly before beginning service on the jacks (see page 8
or page 9).
PROBLEM/SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Jack will not raise to full height. Add hydraulic fluid (see p.13). Check for leaks.
Jack will not hold in raised position. Close the needle valve completely. If the jack
holds, replace valve #1 (see p. 15). If the jack
does not hold, replace valve #2 (see p. 16).
Jack will not pump up and the jack actuator rod
does not move. Close the needle valve. If the jack will now pump
up, replace valve #1. If the jack still will not pump
up after closing the needle valve, replace valve #3
(see p. 16).
Jack will not pump up but the jack actuator rod
does move when the pump pedal is activated. Replace valve #2 (see p. 16).
Jack will not pump up and the jack actuator rod
may or may not move. Remove excess air (vacuum) in system (see p. 13).
