• This product can expose you to chemicals including Nickel, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer,
and Bisphenol A (BPA), which is known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. For
more information go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the product. An unrestrained patient may fall from the product and
be injured.
• Do not apply a wheel lock when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.
• Always avoid getting dirt or other obstructions inside the track frame. The track system may not work the same on all
stair surfaces and in all environmental conditions. Based on conditions, you may encounter varying amounts of
resistance.
• Always clean and dry the track belts before stair transport.
• Always clear the path or consider an alternate route to avoid injury. Condensation, water, ice, or debris on the stairs can
affect operator footing and proper operation of the track system and cause unpredictable performance that results in a
sudden change in the weight that the operators must support.
• Do not attempt to transport patient loads greater than what you can safely lift.
• Always clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient before you operate the product.
• Always inspect the product for damage if involved in an ambulance accident. Contact Stryker Customer Service or
Technical Support for more information.
• Always hold onto the grab bar while you extend the tracks. The product is less stable when unoccupied.
• Do not drive the product on winding stairs. Use the carry handles to manually transport the product up and down winding
stairs.
• Do not stand on the footrest option. The footrest option is not intended to support the weight of a standing operator or
patient.
• Always avoid accidental patient contact with the user controls. User control temperature may reach 118.4° F (48° C)
after ten minutes of operation.
• Do not operate if the product is behaving abnormally or erratically.
• Always make sure that the product is locked in the unfolded position before use. An unlocked product may fold during
use. If you accidentally activate the fold-release mechanism, pull back on the product until locked in place.
• Do not remove the battery when the product is active.
• Do not attempt to open the battery pack for any reason to avoid the risk of electric shock. If the battery pack case is
cracked or damaged, do not insert the case into the charger. Return damaged battery packs to a service center for
recycling.
• Always avoid direct contact with a wet battery or battery enclosures. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Do not insert a cracked or damaged battery into the charger. Return damaged batteries to a service center for recycling.
6257-009-001 Rev AF.1 3 EN

• Do not connect AC and DC power supplies to the battery at the same time to avoid the risk of fire or electric shock.
• Always have a certified mechanic, familiar with ambulance vehicle construction, secure the charger mounting plate
option and charger.
• Always make sure that the charger mounting plate option is secured to the surface before use.
• Do not use the product to transport patients who have suspected spinal injuries.
• Do not leave a patient unattended. Hold the product while a patient is on the product.
• Always make sure that patient belongings do not interfere with the user interface and track system.
• Do not transfer the patient to or from the product while on uneven surfaces, if possible. Transfer the patient while the
product is on flat surfaces to avoid the risk of tipping.
• Do not push the product with the grab bar in the fully extended position. Pushing the product with the grab bar in the fully
extended position may cause the product to tip when you encounter obstacles.
• Do not press the GO button while transporting on flat surfaces to avoid operator or patient injury.
• Always transport the patient on stairs with a minimum of two trained operators. Additional operators are recommended
for patients who weigh more than 250 pounds.
• Always lock the carry handles in position before you use the carry handles to lift or tip the product back.
• Always lock the track system in position before you transport a patient.
• Do not install or apply a wheel lock on a product with worn wheels.
• Always apply both wheel locks.
• Always clean and disinfect or dispose of contaminated product components to avoid risk of exposure to bloodborne
pathogens and injury to the patient or operator.
• Always secure the oxygen bottle and oxygen bottle accessories so they do not interfere with the operation of the
product.
• Always follow these cleaning and disinfecting guidelines, in addition to your protocols, to maintain hygienic safety.
• Always use any appropriate personal protective equipment while power washing to avoid inhaling contagion. Power
washing equipment may aerate contamination.
• Always wear rubber gloves, in addition to personal protective equipment, when cleaning the battery to reduce the risk of
injury.
• Always disconnect the charger from the wall outlet before cleaning to avoid the risk of electrical hazards.
• Do not spray fluid directly onto the charger.
• Do not power wash the charger.
• Do not use solvents, lubricants, or other chemicals to clean the charger unless otherwise directed.
• Do not immerse the charger in liquid or allow liquid to collect on top of the charger to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Always use only non-conductive materials to wipe the battery.
• Always avoid excessive water exposure to the battery terminals.
• Do not directly handle or make contact with the battery terminals while cleaning to avoid the risk of injury.
• Do not immerse the battery in liquid or allow liquid to collect on top of the battery to avoid the risk of electric shock.
• Do not use solvents, lubricants, or other chemicals to clean the battery unless otherwise directed.
• Do not power wash the battery.
• Do not use portable RF communications equipment, including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas, closer than 12 inches (30 cm) to any part of XXppeeddiittiioonn, including cables specified by the manufacturer.
• Always avoid stacking or placing other equipment adjacent to XXppeeddiittiioonn to prevent improper operation of the products. If
such use is necessary, carefully observe the chair and the other equipment to verify proper operation.
• Do not use accessories, transducers, and cables, other than those specified or provided by the manufacturer, to avoid
increased electromagnetic emissions or decreased electromagnetic immunity and improper operation.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN
• Improper usage of the product can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the product only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the product or any components of the product. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty.
• Always use caution when you operate the product on stairs with condensation, water, or ice. Smooth tracks may have
reduced traction in these conditions. Grooved tracks are recommended if you regularly operate the product in cold
weather.
