The words WWAARRNNIINNGG, CCAAUUTTIIOONN, and NNOOTTEE carry special meanings and should be carefully reviewed.
WWAARRNNIINNGG -- Alerts the reader about a situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. It may also
describe potential serious adverse reactions and safety hazards.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN -- Alerts the reader of a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate
injury to the user or patient or damage to the product or other property. This includes special care necessary for the safe
and effective use of the device and the care necessary to avoid damage to a device that may occur as a result of use or
misuse.
NNoottee -- Provides special information to make maintenance easier or important instructions clearer.

Always read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on this page. Service only by qualified personnel.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is designed to be compatible with the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--PPRROO XT, PPoowweerr--PPRROO XT, and PPoowweerr--PPRROO
IT cots with a PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD option. With the mass casualty option, you can use PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD with a
standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly and antler is required for all cots without a
PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD option.
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to make sure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6392 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee-LLOOAADD system is a PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker
Model 6392 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system.
• Always install the cot fastener system as described in this manual. Improper installation can result in injury. Make sure
that, at a minimum, your configuration is tested to meet the National Truck Equipment Association/Ambulance
Manufacturer’s Division Standard 004, Litter Retention System Static Test (AMD-004).
• Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when you use medical electrical equipment.
Install and place the cot fastener system into service according to the EMC information in this manual. Portable and
mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of the cot fastener system.
• Always seal all gaps to the exterior of the vehicle to prevent exhaust fumes from entering the vehicle patient
compartment.
• Always make sure that you tighten all four floor plate bolts to the recommended torque.
• Always make sure of PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD functionality before use. Failure may result in patient or operator injury.
• Always use caution when you move around in the vehicle patient compartment to avoid tripping on PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee-LLOOAADD.
• Always use caution when you operate PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD in adverse weather conditions (for example, rain, ice,
snow).
• Always operate the cot or PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in
powered cot or PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD mechanisms can cause serious injury.
• Always practice loading and unloading the cot with PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD until operation of the product is fully
understood. Improper use can cause injury.
• Do not allow untrained personnel to assist in the operation of PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD. Untrained technicians/personnel
can cause injury to the patient or themselves.
• Always use both hands when you handle the cot. PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is only an assisting device. Evaluate each
situation to determine how to distribute and lift the weight that you are transporting.
• Always use enough operators to handle the forces that are required to load or unload when you handle weights over 400
lb (181 kg). To increase safety, operators should load or unload on flat surfaces. For 36 in. (91 cm) vehicle deck heights,
you may need to manually unload.
• Always avoid extreme parking angles.
• Do not remove the battery when the cot is active.
• Always load or unload an occupied cot into a vehicle with a minimum of two trained operators.
• Always be ready to support the entire weight of the cot and patient when you unload a cot from the vehicle patient
compartment.
• Always check for sheets, restraints, or debris that may catch in the cot transport wheels or load wheels.
• Do not extend the cot base while it is locked into PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD.
• Always allow occupants to enter the vehicle patient compartment after the compatible cot has been loaded into the
vehicle patient compartment.
• Always use any appropriate personal protective equipment while power washing to avoid inhaling contagion. Power
washing equipment may aerate contamination.
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.
6392-009-001 Rev D.3 3 EN
• The use of accessories and cables, other than those specified, with the exception of cables that are sold by Stryker as
replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the
PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system.
• Do not use the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system and the PPoowweerr--PPRROO cot adjacent to or stacked with other equipment. If
adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system to confirm normal operation in the
configuration where it will be used.
• Do not use portable RF communications equipment (including peripherals such as antenna cables and external
antennas) no closer than 30 cm (12 in.) to any part of the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system, including cables specified by
the manufacturer. Otherwise, degradation of the performance of this equipment could result.
• The emissions characteristics of this equipment make it suitable for use in industrial areas and hospitals (CISPR 11
class A). This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area (for which CISPR 11 class B is normally required) is likely to cause harmful interference
in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense. In the event of interference, please
relocate or reorient the PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD system or interfering product.
• Always place the wire inside the floor plate pocket, so the fastener assembly does not pinch the wire when you install the
fastener assembly.
• Always charge the cot battery before you place the product into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause
poor product performance.
• Do not push the cot into the vehicle patient compartment until you fully retract the cot base.
• Do not clean, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.
• Do not clean, disinfect, service, or perform maintenance while the product is in use.
• Always wipe with clean water and dry each product after disinfecting. Some disinfectants are corrosive in nature and
may cause damage to the product. If you do not rinse and dry the product, you may leave a corrosive residue on the
surface of the product. This corrosive residue could cause premature degradation of critical components. Failure to
follow these disinfecting instructions may void your warranty.

PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is a manual cot fastener designed to secure compatible ambulance cots into a ground-based
transport vehicle for patient transportation purposes and to allow for the insertion and removal of the compatible ambulance
cots.
When the compatible cot is secured in the transport position, PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD can inductively charge compatible
model ambulance cots with an inductive charging option. In the event of loss of charging, PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD remains
functional for guiding into, securing within, and removing the cot from the vehicle.
IInnddiiccaattiioonnss ffoorr uussee
PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--LLOOAADD is intended to guide the loading and unloading of a compatible ambulance cot (wheeled stretcher) to
