Warranty
5
Stryker EMS, a division of the Stryker Corporation, offers two distinct warranty options
in the United States:
One (1) year parts and labor. Under this option, Stryker EMS warrants to the original
purchaser that its products should be free from manufacturing non−conformances that
affect product performance and customer satisfaction for a period of one (1) year after
date of delivery. Stryker’s obligation under this warranty is expressly limited to supply-
ing replacement parts and labor for, or replacing, at its option, any product that is, in
the sole discretion of Stryker, found to be defective.
Two (2) year parts. Under this option, Stryker EMS warrants to the original purchas-
er that non−expendable components of its products should be free from manufactur-
ing non−conformances that affect product performance and customer satisfaction for
a period of two (2) years after date of delivery. Stryker’s obligation under this warranty
is expressly limited to supplying replacement parts for, or replacing, at its option, any
product which is, in the sole discretion of Stryker, found to be defective. Expendable
components, i.e. mattresses, restraints, IV poles, storage nets, storage pouches, O2
straps, and other soft goods, have a one (1) year limited warranty with this option.
Under either warranty option, Stryker EMS warrants to the original purchaser that
welds on its products will be free from structural non−conformances that affect product
performance for the full service life of the product. Original purchasers will also obtain
a three (3) year limited parts warranty for the X frame components of the MX−PRO R3
stretcher provided they also purchase X−frame guards at the time of the original pur-
chase and the guards are installed on the MX−PRO before it is put into service.
If Stryker requests, products or parts for which an original purchaser makes a warranty
claim, the purchaser shall return the product or part prepaid freight to Stryker’s factory.
Any improper use or alteration or repair by unauthorized service providers in such a
manner as in Stryker’s judgment affects the product materially and adversely, shall
void this warranty. Any repair of Stryker products using parts not provided or autho-
rized by Stryker shall void this warranty. No employee or representative of Stryker is
authorized to change this warranty in any way.
This statement constitutes Stryker EMS’s entire warranty with respect to the aforesaid
equipment. STRYKER MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION EI-
THER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HERIN. THERE IS NO
WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF FIT-
NESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO EVENT SHALL STRYKER BE LI-
ABLE HEREUNDER FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARIS-
ING FROM OR IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO SALES OR USE OF ANY SUCH
EQUIPMENT.

Summary of Safety Precautions
7
The following is a list of safety precautions that must be observed when operating or servicing this unit. The
precautions are repeated throughout the manual, where applicable. Carefully read this list before using or
servicing the unit.
WARNING
SImproper usage of the Cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot
only as described in this manual.
SInstall the safety hook at least 1/8 inch from the edge of the rear ambulance door. After installation, verify
the cot legs lock into the load position without contacting the ambulance bumper.
SHave the vehicle safety hook installed by a certified mechanic. Improper safety hook installation can result
in injury to the patient or operator or damage to the unit.
SFailure to install the vehicle safety hook can result in injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the
safety hook as described in this manual.
STo avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the cot from the patient
compartment.
SAlways use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the
cot and be injured.
STo avoid accidental release of the Pedi−Matet, and possible injury to the infant, ensure the buckle is lo-
cated away from obstructions on the cot or head end storage pouch.
SSiderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. Refer to pages 15 and 16 for proper re-
straint strap usage. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
SNever leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient
is on the cot.
SNever apply the optional wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved
while wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
SWheel locks are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended. Wheel locks may not
provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
SNever install or use wheel locks on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using wheel locks
on wheels with less than a 6” diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, resulting
in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
SBe sure the undercarriage has engaged and locked before removing the loading wheels from the patient
compartment floor of the vehicle. An unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the pa-
tient and/or operator could result.
SGrasping the Cot improperly can cause injury. Grasp only the lifting bars to lift the cot.
Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid injury, use extreme caution when placing
your feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot.
SDo not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury
to the patient or operator could occur.
SThe one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the
procedures when unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
SThe cot must have at least 5/8” of clearance between the ambulance bumper and the
cot to disengage the safety bar when unloading the cot from the ambulance. Verify the cot legs lock into
the load position before disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook. Failure to properly lock the cot
into position can cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
SDo not allow untrained helpers to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/helpers can
cause injury to the patient or themselves.

Summary of Safety Precautions
8
WARNING
SWhen the optional head end storage pouch is being used, ensure it does not interfere with the operation
of the safety bar and safety hook. Injury to the patient or operator could occur.
SUse any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling con-
tagion. Use of powerwashing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot.
SDo not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the cot could occur, resulting in injury to
the patient or operator.
SFailure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components will increase the risk of
exposure to bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or the operator.
SDo not modify the Cot. Modifying the cot can cause unpredictable operation resulting
in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the cot will also void its warranty.
CAUTION
SHeight limit kit is recommended for ambulance deck heights less than 30 inches (76 cm) − Stryker part
number 6091−202−000.
SDamage to the cot can occur if the cot is lowered in the shortened position. Use only positions 5−7 (see
page 14) when the cot is shortened.
SDo not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a “hot drop”) when removing
the cot from the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping will cause premature wear or damage to the cot.
SDo not store items under the cot mattress. Storing items under the mattress can interfere with the opera-
tion of the cot.
SThe weight of the IV bags or equipment must not exceed 40 pounds.
SImproper maintenance can cause injury or damage to the unit. Maintain the cot as described in this manu-
al. Use only Stryker approved parts and maintenance procedures. Using unapproved parts and proce-
dures could cause unpredictable operation and/or injury and will void the product warranty.

Vehicle Safety Hook Installation
The vehicle safety hook is a device shipped with
the cot. The safety hook activates the safety bar
and prevents the cot from being removed from the
vehicle accidently. The vehicle safety hook was
designed to ensure compatibility and proper op-
eration of the cot during unloading when used in an
ambulance vehicle compliant with Federal Regu-
lation KKK−A−1822, Revision E.
According to federal regulations (reference KKK−
A−1822E), the bumper height of the ambulance
shall be installed equidistant $5 cm (2 inches)
from the ambulance floor to the ground level, de-
fined as the ambulance deck height (Figure 3a).
The bumper step shall have a minimum depth of
13 cm (5 inches) and a maximum depth of 25 cm
(10 inches). If the bumper length is greater than
18 cm (7 inches), then the bumper must be able to
fold. Installation of the safety hook into any ambu-
lance vehicle compliant with this federal specifica-
tion will provide adequate clearance for the cot
base to lower to its fully extended position (Figure
3b). The cot is compatible with all ambulance deck
heights up to 32 inches as long as the ambulance
meets the federal specifications outlined in
KKK−A−1822, revision E.
CAUTION
Height limit kit is recommended for ambulance
deck heights less than 30 inches (76 cm) − Stryker
part number 6091−202−000.
Installation of the safety hook should be done by
a certified mechanic familiar with ambulance
construction. Consult the vehicle manufacturer
before installing the safety hook and be sure the
installation of the safety hook does not damage or
interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel
lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of the vehicle.
WARNING
Have the vehicle safety hook installed by a certi-
fied mechanic. Improper safety hook installation
can cause injury to the patient and/or operator or
damage to the cot.
Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury
to the patient or operator. Install and use the safe-
ty hook as described in this manual.
To avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged
the safety hook before removing the cot from the
patient compartment.

2. Remove the cot from the fastener and unload it from
the vehicle. While the cot is being removed, note the
position of the loading wheels and the safety bar.
3. Center the safety hook (Figure 4a) on the cot safety
bar. Be sure the hook is facing the front of the ve-
hicle.
4. Mark the position of the safety hook on the patient
compartment floor. The safety hook should be
installed as close as possible to the rear of the ve-
hicle while allowing the vehicle doors to close (Figure
4b). Be sure the bumper and bumper step don’t inter-
fere with the folding and unfolding of the cot’s under-
carriage.
5. Drill the holes for the socket head cap screws.
6. Attach the safety hook to the patient compartment
floor.
7. Verify the safety hook always engages the cot safety
bar when the cot is unloaded from the vehicle (Figure
5). If the ambulance floor is wider than normal, an
additional safety hook may be required.
WARNING
The cot must have at least 5/8” of clear-
ance between the ambulance bumper and the cot to dis-
engage the safety bar when unloading the cot from the
ambulance. Verify the cot legs lock into the load position
before disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook.

Using Restraint Straps
Figure 7 − Head Section Restraints Figure 8 − Foot Section Restraints
Figure 6 − Safety Restraints
WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot
and be injured.
Always secure the patient on the cot with all the restraint straps. Buckle the restraints across the patient’s
chest/shoulders, waist and legs (Figure 6). Keep the restraint straps buckled when the cot is not being used
with a patient to avoid damage to the buckles and straps.
When attaching the restraint straps to the cot, keep in mind the attachment points should provide strong an-
chorage and proper restraint position while not interfering with equipment and accessories. Wrap the strap
around the cot frame and back through the loop on the end of the strap as shown in Figures 7 and 8. The
arrows indicate alternate attachment areas.

Figure 9 − Buckling the Safety Restraints
Figure 10 − Lengthening the Safety Restraint
Figure 11 − Shortening the Safety Restraint
When the cot is put into service, the restraints are opened and placed to either side of the cot until the patient
is positioned on the cot mattress. The restraint is lengthened, buckled around the patient and shortened until
the required tightness is achieved.
To open the restraint, press the red button (A) on the front of the buckle ”receiver”. This releases the buckle
”tang” (B) which can then be pulled out of the receiver (Figure 9).
To close the restraint, push the tang into the receiver until a ”click” is heard. When fastening the chest restraint
be sure the tang passes through both links (C) on the shoulder strap (Figure 9).
To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle tang, turn it at an angle to the webbing, then pull it out (Figure 10).
A hemmed tab at the end of the webbing prevents the tang from coming off the strap.
To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab and pull the webbing back through the tang until the required
tightness is achieved (Figure 11).
Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, the attendant should check to be sure the tang is fully engaged
and that the extra webbing is not tangled in the cot or hanging loose.
Inspection of the restraints should be done at least once a month (more frequently if used heavily). Inspection
should include checking for a bent or broken receiver or tang, torn or frayed webbing, etc. Any restraint show-
ing wear or not operating properly must be replaced immediately.
