if the stretcher moves while a patient is getting on or off the stretcher.
When lowering the siderail to the collapsed position, keep the extremities of patients and staff away from the
siderail spindles.
To avoid damage, store the foot supports completely under the litter when they are not in use. Do not transport

Do not use the foot supports as push/pull handles or damage could result.
Do not transport the stretcher with the foot section in the lowered position. Injury to the patient or user or damage
to the stretcher could result. Do not place large items in the base storage tray. Interference with the foot supports
could occur and damage could result.
Do not sit on the breakaway foot section or injury could result.
Ensure no one’s feet are under the lowered foot section when lowering the stretcher or placing it into reverse
Trendelenburg or injury could result.
Use caution when lowering the stretcher or placing it into reverse Trendelenburg when the foot section is in the
lowered position or damage to the stretcher could occur.
Ensure there is no interference with the foot supports when the foot section is lowered or damage could result.
Failure to verify the foot section is securely engaged prior to use could result in injury to the patient or user.
Use caution when lowering the foot section. Injury to the patient or user could result.
Do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
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.

RAIDING AND LOWERING LITTER HEIGHT - SIDE CONTROL/UNI-LOWER PEDAL
CAUTION
Be sure to move any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.
To raise the litter height, pump pedal (A) repeatedly until the desired height is achieved (see illustration under
Operating Base Controsl section).
To lower both ends of the litter together, depress the center of pedal (B). To lower only the head end of the litter,
depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the head end.
To lower only the foot end of the litter, depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the foot end (see illustration under

(see illustration under Operating Base Controls section).
For Reverse Trendelenburg positioning (foot down), depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the foot end.
NOTE
The higher the litter is before pedal (B) is activated, the greater the trend. or reverse trend. angle will be. (Maximum
trend. angle is +18°. Maximum reverse trend. angle is –18°.)

Sodium 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 corro-
sive 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 im-
mediately 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.
