• Power-LOAD is designed to be compatible with the Performance-PRO XT, Power-PRO XT, and Power-PRO IT cots
with the Power-LOAD option only. In certain situations, you can use Power-LOAD as a standard antler for most
X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the Power-LOAD option.
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD
system is a Power-LOAD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model
6390 Power-LOAD system.
• Improper installation can result in injury. Install the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD system as described in this
manual. Ensure that, at a minimum, your configuration with Power-LOAD is tested to meet the National Truck
Equipment Association/Ambulance Manufacturer’s Division Standard 004, Litter Retention System Static Test
(AMD-004).
• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment
like Power-LOAD. Install and place Power-LOAD into service according to the EMC information in this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of Power-LOAD.
• The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers
and cables sold by Stryker as replacement parts for internal components may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the Power-LOAD system.
• The Power-LOAD system and the Power-PRO cot should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the Power-LOAD system to verify normal operation in the
configuration in which it will be used.
• Power-LOAD operates at the following frequencies: 70 - 125 kHz for inductive charging and 13.56 MHz±7 kHz,
Amplitude Modulated (OOK), ERP: -82.37 dBm. The Power-LOAD system may be interfered with by other
equipment, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury or equipment damage during installation, properly secure the item that you
are cutting and be aware of the area around your cutting location. Always wear appropriate eye protection while
operating a saw.
• During installation, always wear safety glasses and a face mask while operating a router.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury or vehicle damage, be aware of items around and below the electrical inlet during
floor plate installation. Consult the vehicle manufacturer before installing. Make sure that you do not damage or
interfere with brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of the vehicle.
• Ensure that all gaps to the exterior of the vehicle are sealed to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle
patient compartment.
• To prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle patient compartment, route the drain tube under the vehicle
away from the exhaust system.
• To avoid the risk of personal injury or vehicle damage, be aware of items around and below the anchor-to-vehicle
cable during floor plate installation.
• Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as
described in this manual.
• Inadequate bumper clearance could result in patient or operator injury.
• To avoid the risk of injury, two installers are required when lifting and positioning the transfer assembly.

Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• To avoid the risk of injury, two installers are required when lifting and positioning the trolley assembly.
• To avoid the risk of patient injury, adjust the cot load wheel height to match the vehicle deck height as described
in the appropriate cot operations/maintenance manual for your cot model.
• Improper usage of the Power-LOAD system or any accessory can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate
the Power-LOAD system and accessories only as described in the manuals. Usage of this product in any other
way becomes the complete responsibility of the owner or user.
• For manual operations, the operator must support the weight at the foot end of the cot.
• Failure to ensure proper Power-LOAD functionality prior to use may result in patient and/or operator injury.
• Use caution while moving around in the vehicle patient compartment to avoid tripping on Power-LOAD.
• To avoid the risk of operator and/or patient injury, use caution when operating Power-LOAD in adverse weather
conditions (for example, rain, ice, snow).
• Entanglement in powered cot and/or Power-LOAD mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the cot and/or
Power-LOAD only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms.
• Practice loading and unloading the cot with Power-LOAD until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper
use can cause injury.
• Do not allow untrained personnel to assist in the operation of Power-LOAD. Untrained technicians/personnel can
cause injury to the patient or themselves.
• To reduce the risk of patient injury and/or equipment damage, do not drive the vehicle with the trolley in the mid
position. This position does not lock and is not intended for driving.
• Power-LOAD is only an assisting device. Operators are responsible for evaluating each situation to determine how
to distribute and lift the weight being transported. Always use both hands when handling the cot.
• When handling weights over 400 lb (181 kg), ensure there are enough operators to handle the forces required for
loading or unloading. To increase safety, users should attempt to perform loading or unloading on flat surfaces.
For 36 in (91 cm) vehicle deck heights, you may need to use the manual release button on the Power-LOAD control
panel or the manual cot release handles at the head end of Power-LOAD to manually unload.
• Keep hands and extremities clear of the Power-LOAD trolley lifting arms and the cot base during powered loading
and unloading.
• Return damaged batteries to a service center for recycling. Do not dispose of as unsorted municipal waste. Refer
to your local distributor for return and/or collection systems available in your country.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the battery when Power-LOAD is in operation.
• Before servicing Power-LOAD, unplug the shoreline (if applicable), disconnect the vehicle battery, press the main
power button to turn the unit off, and then place the trolley into the loading position.
• Do not press the main power button to turn the unit off during normal use as it will prevent battery charging.
• To prevent the rail jaws from releasing the cot frame, the space between the rail clamp and the rail stationary jaw
must never exceed 1 in (2.5 cm). To prevent the rail jaws from releasing the cot frame and causing possible injury
to the patient or user, the rail clamp must not overlap the red adjustment limit label on the rail tube.
• The rail clamp fastener closes with a strong spring action. To avoid injury, do not use hand or fingers to press the
release button when the rail jaws are open.
• Loading and/or unloading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators.
• Make sure that all occupants enter the vehicle patient compartment after the Power-LOAD compatible cot has
been loaded into the vehicle patient compartment.
• When unloading the cot, ensure that the cot base is extended before pressing any buttons on the Power-LOAD
control panel.
• As the cot is unlocked for removal from the vehicle patient compartment, the Power-LOAD lifting arms will slightly
raise the cot. If the lifting arms do not raise the cot, then the operators must be ready to accept the entire weight
of the cot and patient to avoid injury.
• When unloading a cot from the vehicle patient compartment while Power-LOAD is experiencing a power loss or
system error, the operators must be ready to accept the entire weight of the cot and patient.
• Removing a cot from a vehicle for repair requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators.
• Always press the main power button to turn the unit off before service or cleaning.
• When cleaning, use any appropriate personal safety equipment, such as goggles or respirator, to avoid the risk
of inhaling contagion. Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the
unit.
• SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT IF
USED IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker patient care equipment, measures
must be taken to insure the units are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure
to properly rinse and dry the units will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the units, possibly causing
premature corrosion of critical components.

CAUTION
• Changes or modifications to the Power-LOAD system not expressly approved by Stryker could void the user’s
authority to operate the system.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense. In the event of
interference, please relocate or reorient the Power-LOAD system or interfering product.
• This device complies with Part 18 of the FCC Rules. In the event of interference, relocate or reorient the Power-
LOAD system or interfering product.
• When installing the anchor assembly, ensure that the wires rest inside of the floor plate assembly channel and are
not pinched by the anchor assembly.
• When installing the transfer assembly, slowly slide the transfer assembly to avoid breaking the cot inductive charge
housing.
• To avoid the risk of vehicle damage, be aware of items around your selected drill hole locations during installation.
• The manual overrides allow the Power-LOAD system to move freely.
• To avoid the risk of equipment damage, do not slam the cot into the trolley when loading.
• To avoid the risk of equipment damage, do not push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment until the cot base
is fully retracted.
• Do not let go of the manual release until the cot locks into position at the foot end. If you let go too early, then the
cot base may prevent the cot from properly locking into Power-LOAD.
• DO NOT STEAM CLEAN OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN THE UNIT.
• Maximum water temperature should not exceed 180°F/82°C.
• Allow unit to air dry prior to use.
• Maximum water pressure should not exceed 1500 psi/130.5 bar. If a hand held wand is being used to wash the
unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches (61 cm) from the unit.
• When hosing down or power washing the unit, do not spray directly underneath the trolley up into the trolley
mechanism or water could gain ingress into the trolley housing which could accelerate long-term corrosion and
degrade operation.
• Failure to comply with these instructions may invalidate any/all warranties.
• To reduce the risk of damage to the electronics assembly, ESD precautions should be taken when handling the
control board. For more information about ESD protection, contact Stryker Technical Support at (800) 327-0770.
• While replacing the rollers, make sure that the trolley is on a flat and level work surface. Pay attention to the trolley
positioning when loosening or tightening the pivot bolts.

• Model 6516 Power-PRO™ IT with the Power-LOAD option or compatibility kit (6516-700-001)
WARNING
• Power-LOAD is designed to be compatible with the Performance-PRO XT, Power-PRO XT, and Power-PRO IT cots
with the Power-LOAD option only. In certain situations, you can use Power-LOAD as a standard antler for most
X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the Power-LOAD option.
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD
system is a Power-LOAD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model
6390 Power-LOAD system.
• To meet BS EN 1789:2007 and AS/NZS 4535:1999 crash-test standards with the use of a crash-rated fastener, such
as Power-LOAD (Model 6390), you must install the EMS restraint package (6500-002-030) and knee gatch bolster
mattress (6500-002-150) on your Power-LOAD compatible cot. Call Stryker Customer Service USA at 1-800-327-
0770 for availability and pricing. Power-LOAD does not meet BS EN 1789:2007 or AS/NZS 4535:1999 crash-test
standards for use with the Power-LOAD compatible model 6510 or 6516 Power-PRO IT cot and does not meet AS/
NZS 4535:1999 crash test standards for use with the 6085 or 6086 Performance-PRO XT.
