Cleaning
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 with Staph–Chek fabrics. Iodophor type disinfectants are not rec-
ommended for use on Staph–Chek fabrics because staining may result. The following products have been
tested by the Herculite Laboratory and have been found not to have a harmful effect on Staph–Chek fabrics
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 dam-
age 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 corrosive residue on the surface
of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. 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 9/16”Box End Wrench 5/16”Hex Allen Wrench
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Refer to drawing 360–31–10 (Pneumatic Fowler Assembly, page 35) for part reference.
2. For easier access, raise Fowler to 90_.
3. Using a 3/32”hex Allen wrench, remove set screws (P), located in center of yokes (K).
4. Using a 9/16”box end wrench and 5/16”hex Allen wrench, remove the pivot bolts (D), flat washers (B) and
hex nuts (C) holding the gas springs (A) to the litter frame.
5. To adjust the Fowler, turn the gas spring 1 to 2 turns counterclockwise if the Fowler will not move and 1
to 2 turns clockwise if the Fowler will not hold its position.
6. Replace the pivot bolts (D) and check the Fowler adjustment. Lower the Fowler approximately 10_to 20_,
release the handle and apply weight to the Fowler to assure it will hold its position. If the Fowler will not
lower or will not hold its position when weight is applied, repeat step 5.
7. When the Fowler is properly adjusted, replace the washers (B) and hex nuts (C) to secure the pivot bolts.
8. Using thread locktite, reinstall set screws (P).
SIDERAIL LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
1/8 Hex Allen Wrench
WARNING
The siderail latch adjustment is pre–set at the factory, and there should not normally be a need for readjust-
ment. If adjustment must be done it is important to follow the procedure below. If it is not done properly, injury
to the patient or user could occur.
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 Allen screw clockwise will DECREASE the amount of ”play”in the latching mechanism. Turn-
ing 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
inches.
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.

Service Information
BASE PEDAL LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
3/32 Hex Allen Wrench
7/16 Open End Wrench
1/2 Open End Wrench
Bungee Cords
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Pump the litter up to full height.
2. Lift the base hood, separating the hood from the base frame. Using the bungee cords, 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 bungee cords supporting the base hood. Use the pedal cut–outs on the side of the hood as
a guide for proper re–positioning.

Service Information
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
NOTE
Be sure the pedal linkage has been adjusted properly before beginning service on the jacks (see page 6).
PROBLEM/SYMPTOM SOLUTION
Jack will not raise to full height. Add hydraulic fluid (see p. 10). Check for leaks.
Jack will not hold in raised position. Close the needle valve completely. If the jack
holds, replace valve #1 (see p. 12). If the jack
does not hold, replace valve #2 (see p. 13).
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. 13).
Jack will not pump up but the jack actuator rod
does move when the pump pedal is activated. Replace valve #2 (see p. 13).
Jack will not pump up and the jack actuator rod
may or may not move. Remove excess air (vacuum) in system (see p. 13).
Contact Stryker technical service at 1–800–327–0770 for further assistance.

CHECKING HYDRAULIC FLUID LEVEL
Required Tools:
3/8 Open End Wrench 3/4 Open End Wrench
Procedure:
WARNING
To avoid personal injury or damage to the stretcher, remove the litter and the base hood before beginning
service on the jacks.
1. Using a 3/8 open end wrench, remove square head set screws from both head and foot end jack support
tubes. Remove litter top and set aside.
2. Lift base hood off base frame and set aside.
3. Be sure there are no hydraulic leaks. If there are, jack replacement will be necessary.
4. Lower the jack to the full down position.
5. Using a 3/4 open end wrench, slowly turn the fill plug located on the side of the reservoir counterclockwise
to allow excess system pressure to vent. Remove the fill plug.
6. The hydraulic fluid should be visible at the bottom of the fill hole. If it is not, add Mobil Aero HFA hydraulic
fluid (Stryker part number 2020–70–475) until the fluid is visible at the bottom of the fill hole. Replace the
fill plug.
CAUTION
Use of other types of oil may damage hydraulic units.
7. Replace the hood and the litter.
JACK DESCENT RATE ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
Screwdriver Bungee Cords
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Pump the litter up to full height.
2. Lift the base hood, separating the hood from the base frame. Using the bungee cords, support the base
hood.
3. The descent rate needle valve is located on the base of the jack. Turning the needle valve clockwise, with
a screwdriver, will decrease the rate of descent. Turning it counterclockwise will increase the rate of de-
scent.
4. Adjust the needle valve so that the foot end of the stretcher descends slightly faster than the head end.
NOTE
The larger percentage of a patient’s weight is located in the torso area. Adjust descent rate accordingly.
5. Remove the bungee cords supporting the base hood and secure the hood to the base frame.
NOTE
The jack descent rate was preset at the factory to drop the foot end faster than the head. It is recommended
that the foot drop faster to avoid patient disorientation.
