Summary of Safety Precautions
4
Before operating this stretcher, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully
read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page.
WARNING
Always apply the caster brakes when a patient is getting on or off the stretcher. Push on the stretcher to en-
sure the brakes are securely locked. Always engage the brakes unless the stretcher is being moved. Injury
could result if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher.
Be sure the siderail latching mechanism is working properly at all times. If it is not, refer to your stretcher
maintenance manual for ”Siderail Latch Adjustment”.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep extremities of patients and staff away from the side-
rail spindles or injury could occur.
Keep fingers/hands clear of area around the Fowler release handle and the Fowler frame when lowering.
Injury could result if care is not taken when lowering the Fowler.
If the stretcher is equipped with the optional foot end IV pole, the IV pole must be in the raised position when
the foot extension/defibrillator tray is installed. If the IV pole is not raised, the foot extension will not function
properly and injury could occur.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
The push handles were designed for use while transporting the stretcher. Avoid using other parts of the
stretcher as push/pull devices because damage could occur.
If the Pneumatic Fowler is difficult to operate, refer to the stretcher maintenance manual for “Pneumatic Fowl-
er Adjustment”
To avoid damage, the weight of the I.V. bags should not exceed 40 pounds.
To avoid damage while transporting the stretcher, verify the I.V. pole is at a low enough height to allow it to
safely pass through door openings and under light fixtures.
The unit cannot be raised (hydraulics on base) with a patient lift under the stretcher.
The hood may not be used for stepping.
Note
Clean hood storage area regularly.
The bottom of the brake rings should be cleaned regularly to prevent wax and/or floor remnant buildup.

Cleaning
6
Hand wash all surfaces of the stretcher with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly. DO NOT
STEAM CLEAN, PRESSURE WASH, HOSE OFF OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN. Using these methods
of cleaning is not recommended and may void this product’s warranty.
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 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.

bar (item M).
4. To adjust the Fowler, use a 5/32” hex Allen wrench to turn the Allen screws (item J) 1 to 2 turns count-
er−clockwise if the Fowler will not move or 1 to 2 turns clockwise if the Fowler will not hold its position.

FOLDDOWN SIDERAIL LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
1/8” Hex Allen Wrench
WARNING
The siderail latches are preset at the factory, and do not normally need adjustment. If adjustment must be
done, it is important to follow the procedure below. If adjustment is not done properly, injury to the patient
or user could result.
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
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
result in damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user.
