Preventative Maintenance
CLEANING
1. Hand wash all surfaces of the bed with warm water and mild detergent. Dry thoroughly.
2. Clean Velcro AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro with disinfectant and allow disinfectant to evaporate.
(Appropriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro should be determined by the hospital.)
NOTE
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 corrosive residue on the surface
of the stretcher, possibly causing premature corrosion of critical components. Failure to follow the above
directions when using these types of cleaners may void this product’s warranty.

Service Information
SIDERAIL LATCH ADJUSTMENT
Required Tools:
1/8 Hex Allen Wrench
WARNING
The siderail latch adjustment is pre–set at the factory, and there should not normally be a need for readjustment. If adjustment must be done it is important to follow the procedure below. If it is no t don e pro per ly, injury
to the patient or user could occur.
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Using a 1/8 hex Allen wrench, adjust the hex Allen screw located on the latch assembly opposite the latch.
Turning the Allen screw clockwise will DECREASEthe amount of ”play” in the latching mechanism. Turn-
ing 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
cause damage to the latch and/or injury to the patient or user.

1/2 Open End Wrench
(2) Wooden blocks (10 – 12 inches in length)
Adjustment Procedure:
1. Pump the litter up to full height.
2. Lift the base hood, separating the hood from the base frame. Using the wooden blocks, support the base
hood.
3. To adjust the foot end descent pedal, use a 5/32 hex Allen wrench to loosen the set screw (C) in the stop
collar (D) on the release rod. Hold the pedal parallel to the floor and slide the collar up to the bracket on
the release rod. Tighten the set screw on the stop collar. Be sure the head end and foot end descent
pedals are level with each other. Repeat for the head end pedal, if necessary.
4. Once the pedals are level, be sure the paddle on the end of the release rod for the foot end jack is slightly
touching the actuating stem on the jack base. If it is not, use a 3/32 hex Allen wrench to loosen the set
screw on the paddle hub. Adjust the paddle to JUST touch the stem of the jack. Tighten the set screw
in the paddle hub. Repeat for the head end jack, if necessary.
5. Depress the pedal for the foot end jack. The jack should start to descend about the same time the paddle
on the end of the rod contacts the sleeve on the jack actuating stem. The bracket on the foot pedal body
should hit the stop screw (B). Any further movement could cause damage to the stem components inside
the jack housing. To adjust the stop screw, use a 1/2 open end wrench to loosen the hex jam nut (A).
Turn the screw and re–tighten the hex jam nut. Repeat for the head end jack.
6. Pump the litter up to full height.
7. Step on both descent pedals at the same time. Both ends of the litter should lower with the foot end lowering slightly faster than the head end. If it does not, refer to the procedure for adjusting the jack descent
rate.
8. Remove the wooden blocks supporting the base hood. Use the pedal cut–outs on the side of the hood
as a guide for proper re–positioning.
