Note: These instructions are intended for cots with antler style cot fastener systems. For crash-rated cot fasteners, see
the appropriate Operations Manual for installation instructions. Crash-rated cot fasteners are shipped and installed with
their own vehicle safety hook, thus no additional hook is needed.
The vehicle safety hook was designed for compatibility and proper operation when loading and unloading the cot from a
vehicle that is compliant with Federal Regulation KKK-A-1822. Stryker offers three different types of vehicle safety hooks
that are ordered and shipped with your cot. These vehicle safety hook types meet the needs of various emergency
vehicle configurations, specifically the length and location of the floor structure support that is located in the rear of the
vehicle.
To select which vehicle safety hook is appropriate for your vehicle configuration:
•Consider the location of the floor structure support where there is adequate room to mount the vehicle safety hook.
•Mount the vehicle safety hook into the back of the vehicle. Provide bumper clearance to allow the operators to load
and unload the cot from the vehicle.
•Note the differences in vehicle design. Each vehicle safety hook provides a different mounting location option to
maintain the appropriate distance between the face of the vehicle safety hook and the edge of the door sill.
Due to the differences in vehicle dimensions and the floor structure support locations, each vehicle safety hook allows
for a different mounting location. Select the correct position for your vehicle safety hook installation.

•Positioning of the vehicle safety hook, side to side on page 24
Note: When you replace an existing vehicle safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the
proper position of the vehicle safety hook face.

Operation
Setting cot load height with jog function
The adjustable cot load height with jog function allows you to preset the height of the load wheels to meet the ambulance
deck height up to 36 in. The jog function assists operators when loading on an incline by jogging past the preset load
height. You can set the cot load height from 26 in. to 36 in. (66 cm to 91 cm) as measured from the ground to the bottom
of the load wheel.
To set the cot load height:
1.Locate the sensor housing on the patient right side of the cot.
2.Using a T27 Torx driver, remove the sensor housing cover by loosening the two screws (one on each end).
3.Adjust the left height sensor only inside the sensor housing: (Figure 12 on page 27):
a.Move the sensor toward the head end to increase the set load height or move the sensor toward the foot end to
decrease the set load height.
b.Press the retract (-) button to lower the cot to its lowest position, then press the extend (+) button to raise the
cot to its set load height position.
c.Measure the cot height from the bottom of the load wheels to the floor.
Note: Add an additional 1/2 in. (1,3 cm) to your deck height measurement to allow for variations in patient
weight or with other equipment that may be added to the cot.
d.Repeat steps 3a and 3b until you reach the desired cot load height.
4.Secure the height sensor cables. All cables should lie flat inside the housing between the sensors.
5.Using a T27 Torx driver, reinstall the two screws (removed in step 2) to replace the sensor housing cover.
Checking the battery power level
Use the cot battery LED indictor to check the SMRT Pak power level. A charged SMRT Pak, in working condition,
provides up to 25 calls with a 250 pound patient (actual results may vary). The 24 VDC Power-PRO system and the
SMRT Pak is rated for 2.4 amp-hours of electric energy.
WARNING
Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.
CAUTION
Always charge the battery before you place the product into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause poor
product performance.

Checking the battery power level (Continued)
To check the battery power level, press the retract (-) button on the cot control switch to activate the cot battery LED
indicator. The cot battery LED indicator is located at the foot end control enclosure (shown as a battery symbol).
•The LED is solid green when the battery has a full charge or has an adequate battery power charge.
Note: For best results, use the SMRT Pak until the cot battery LED indicator changes from solid green to flashing
amber.
•The LED flashes amber when you need to charge or replace the battery
Note: The cot battery LED indicator does not have to flash amber before you remove and replace the SMRT Pak,
however, this is considered to be a best practice. You can remove and recharge the SMRT Pak at any time.
•The LED is a solid amber to indicate a battery error.
Notes
•Only use Stryker approved batteries.
•If equipped, the powered cot fastener automatically charges the SMRT Pak battery. Automatic charging occurs
when you lock the cot into the powered cot fastener (no cable or connectors required). The cot battery LED indicator
flashes green for a moment to signify that it is charging.
•Automatic charging will only occur with SMRT Pak batteries.
Checking the hour meter and error display
The hour meter indicates the amount of time (HHH.H hours) that the hydraulics were in use. The error display provides
error code information for troubleshooting.
Use the hour meter (A) (Figure 13 on page 28) to determine the frequency of preventive maintenance. Use the error
display (A) for troubleshooting. The error display overrides the hour meter display when an error occurs.

Installing a SMRT Pak
The SMRT Pak is designed to be compatible with the Power-PRO XT, Power-PRO IT, and Power-PRO TL cots.
To maximize available battery power, only use SMRT Paks that have been charged within the last 48 hours.
To install the SMRT Pak:
1.Align the tabs in the battery enclosure.
2.Push the SMRT Pak into the enclosure until the latch clicks into place.
The SMRT Pak can remain on the Power-PRO cot between service calls for up to one week or until the cot battery LED
indicator flashes amber.
Removing a SMRT Pak from the cot
After the SMRT Pak has been discharged, remove the SMRT Pak from the Power-PRO cot and replace it with a charged
SMRT Pak.
Running the SMRT Pak repeatedly, without rest periods, can increase the temperature within the cells and reduce life.
For example, lifting a heavy patient up and down several times in rapid succession can reduce the SMRT Pak life.
WARNING
•Do not remove the battery when the cot is activated.
•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 it 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

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile
radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast, and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy.
To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be
considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which Power-PRO is used exceeds the applicable RF
compliance level above, the Power-PRO system should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as reorienting or relocating Power-PRO.

Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths are less than 10 V/m.
