Introduction
Before operating this stretcher, it is important to read and understand all information in this manual. Carefully
read and strictly follow the warnings listed on this page.
WARNING
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before raising or lowering the litter height.
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 . I f brakes do not hold properly, refer to your stretcher maintenance manual for a brake adjustment procedure.
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 siderail spindles or injury could occur.
To avoid injury or damage to the equipment, do not allow the siderail to lower on its own.
Keep fingers/hands clear of area around Fowler release handle and Fowler frame when lowering. Injury could
result if care is not taken when lowering the Fowler.
If pneumatic system appears to be difficult to operate, refer to the stretcher maintenance manual for “Pneu-
matic Fowler 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.

CAUTION
To avoid damage, remove 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 on
page 4).
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 on page 4). The base may be equipped with
optional variable descent controls. With variable descent controls, the farther you press down on the pedal,
the faster the litter will lower.
RAISING AND LOWERING LITTER HEIGHT − 3−SIDED CONTROLS
To raise the litter height, pump pedal (A) repeatedly until the desired height is achieved (see illustration on
page 5).
To lower both ends of the litter simultaneously, depress pedal (B) and (D) together using the same foot or
depress in the center of pedal (C). To lower only the head end of the litter, depress pedal (B) or the side of
pedal (C) closest to the head end of the stretcher. To lower only the foot end of the stretcher , depress pedal
(D) or the side of pedal (C) closest to the foot end of the stretcher.
The base may be equipped with optional variable descent controls. With variable descent controls, the farther
you press down on the pedal, the faster the litter will lower.
TRENDELENBURG/REVERSE TRENDELENBURG − SIDE CONTROL
NOTE
Litter height must be raised first in order to achieve a trend. or reverse trend. position.
CAUTION
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before lowering the stretcher.
For Trendelenburg positioning (head down), depress the side of pedal (B) closest to the head end of the
stretcher (see illustration, page 4).
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).
To avoid damage, remove any equipment that may be in the way before lowering the stretcher.
For Trendelenburg positioning (head down), depress pedal (B) or the side of pedal (C) closest to the head
end of the stretcher (see illustration, page 5).

Stretcher Operation
OPERATING THE FIFTH WHEEL OPTION
The purpose of the fifth wheel option is to help guide the stretcher when transporting a patient along a straight
line and also for pivoting at corners.
To engage the fifth wheel, push the proper side of the brake/steer pedal to the full down position.
OPERATING THE BIG WHEEL OPTION
When the brake/steer pedal is in the neutral or brake position, the Big Wheel is elevated approximately 3/4”
and the stretcher rests on the four casters.
NOTE
The two Big Wheels do not pivot. The stretcher cannot be moved directly sideways with the Big Wheel activated. With the pedal in the neutral position, the stretcher can be moved in any direction including sideways.
When the brake/steer pedal is in the steer position, the foot end casters are elevated approximately 1/4” and
the stretcher rests on the two head end casters and the two Big Wheels. This provides increased mobility
and ease of steering the stretcher.

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 corrosive 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.
