Warranty
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 supplying 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 purchaser that non-
expendable components of its products should be free from manufacturing 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 products are designed for a 7 year expected service
life under normal use, conditions, and with appropriate periodic maintenance as described
in the maintenance manual for each device. Stryker warrants to the original purchaser
that the welds on its EMS products will be free from structural defects for the expected 7
year life of the EMS product as long as the original purchaser owns 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 purchase 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 authorized 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 EITHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH HERIN. THERE IS NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY
AND THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE. IN NO
EVENT SHALL STRYKER BE LIABLE HEREUNDER FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL
DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR IN ANY MANNER RELATED TO SALES OR USE OF ANY SUCH
EQUIPMENT.

Summary of Safety Precautions
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
• Do not modify the Stair-PRO®Stair Chair. Modifying the chair can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury
to the patient or operator. Modifying the chair will also void its warranty.
• Do not allow untrained helpers to assist in the operation of the Stair-PRO® Stair Chair. Untrained technicians/
helpers can cause injury to the patient or themselves.
• An unlocked chair can fold during use, causing injury to the patient or operator. Always make sure the chair is
locked in the unfolded position before use.
• To avoid injury, always verify the lift handles are locked in place before using them to lift the chair.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the chair. An unrestrained patient may fall from the chair
and be injured.
• Do not push the Model 6252 with the upper control handle in the fully extended position. Pushing the chair with
the handle in the fully extended position may cause the chair to tip when obstacles are encountered.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the chair or injury could result. Hold the chair securely while a patient is on
the chair.
• The Stair-PRO® Stair Chair is not recommended for use with suspected cervical, spinal, or fracture injuries.
• To avoid injury, transporting the patient on stairs requires a minimum of two operators. If more people are required
to safely control the chair, use the chart on page 1-28 as reference for proper positioning of the helpers.
• Only use the wheel locks during patient transfer or without a patient on the chair. Tipping could occur if the chair
is moved while wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the chair.
• Never use a wheel lock on a chair with excessively worn wheels. Using a wheel lock on a wheel with less than a
5” diameter (Model 6252) or a 6” diameter (Models 6250/6251) could compromise the holding ability of the wheel
lock, possibly resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the chair or other equipment.
• To avoid injury, always verify the Stair-TREAD™ system on the Model 6252 is securely locked in place before
transporting the patient.
• Water, ice and debris on the stairs can affect operator footing and proper operation of the Stair-TREAD™ system.
To avoid injury, clear the path or consider an alternate route.
• Condensation, water, ice and/or debris on the Stair-TREAD™ system can cause unpredictable performance,
resulting in a sudden change in the weight the operators must support. To avoid injury, and to aid proper operation
of the Stair-TREAD™ system, ensure the belts are clean and dry before transporting the patient.
• Never lubricate the Stair-TREAD™ system. Lubrication on the system can cause inconsistent operation possibly
resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
• To avoid injury to the operators and/or the patient, operators should never attempt to transport patient loads greater
than what they can safely lift.
• Use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion. Use
of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the chair.
CAUTION
• Improper usage of the Stair-PRO® Stair Chair can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the Stair-PRO®
Stair Chair only as described in this manual.
• Improper maintenance can cause injury or damage to the unit. Maintain the Stair-PRO® Stair Chair as described
in this manual. Use only Stryker approved parts and maintenance procedures. Using unapproved parts and
procedures could cause unpredictable operation and/or injury and will void the product warranty.
• Casters are not suitable for all surfaces. Caution should be used at all times.
• Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the empty chair from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient
transfer. The wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
• Release the red track release bar before clicking the Stair-TREAD™ system into the locked position. Failure to follow
this procedure could result in the track failing to lock. Always verify the Stair-TREAD™ system is locked by trying
to fold it before descending stairs.

Operation Guide
OPERATING GUIDELINES
• Use the Stair-PRO® Stair Chair only as described in this manual.
• Read all labels and instructions on the chair before using the chair.
• When a patient is on the chair, use a minimum of two operators to manipulate the chair on stairs. If more people
are required to safely control the chair, use the chart on page 1-28 as reference for proper positioning of the
helpers.
• Do not roll the chair, ascend, or descend stairs without advising the patient. Stay with the patient and control the
chair at all times.
• Only use the wheel locks during patient transfer or without a patient on the chair.
• Always use the restraint straps when a patient is on the chair.
• Use properly trained helpers when necessary to control the chair and patient.
WARNING
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the chair. An unrestrained patient may fall from the chair
and be injured.
• Only use the wheel locks during patient transfer or without a patient on the chair. Tipping could occur if the chair
is moved while the wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the chair.
• Condensation, water, ice and/or debris on the Model 6252 Stair-TREAD™ system can cause unpredictable
performance, resulting in a sudden change in the weight the operators must support. To avoid injury, and to aid
proper operation of the Stair-TREAD™ system, ensure the belts are clean and dry before transporting the patient.

USING RESTRAINT STRAPS
WARNING
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the chair. An unrestrained patient may fall from the chair and be
injured.
The restraints can be used in two configurations.
For the cross-chest configuration (Figure 2): Buckle the chest restraints in an “X” pattern across the patient’s chest.
For the chest and lap configuration (Figure 3): Buckle one restraint across the patient’s chest and the other across
the patient’s lap.
For either configuration: Match up the color coded restraints and buckle the ankle restraint across the patient’s legs.
To avoid damage to the buckles and straps, keep the restraint straps buckled when the chair is not being used with a
patient.
When attaching the restraint straps to the chair, remember the attachment points must provide strong anchorage and
proper restraint position while not interfering with equipment and accessories.

• To lengthen the restraint, grasp the buckle, turn it at an angle to the webbing and pull it out. A hemmed tab at the
end of the webbing prevents the buckle from coming off the strap. To shorten the restraint, grasp the hemmed tab
and pull the webbing back through the buckle until the required tightness is achieved.
• When the chair is put into service, open the restraints and place them at either side of the chair until the patient
is positioned on the seat. Lengthen the restraint, buckle it around the patient and shorten it until the required

• To open the restraint, press the tabs on the side of the buckle to release the buckle and pull the tang out of the
receiver. To close the restraint, push the tang into the receiver until a ”click” is heard.
• Whenever a restraint is buckled on a patient, the attendant should verify the tang is locked and the extra webbing
is not tangled in the chair or hanging loose.

wear or not operating properly must be replaced immediately.
