Summary of Safety Precautions
Carefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on these pages. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
• Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the cot or any components of the cot. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty (see page 148).
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Cot Fastener Systems
meets the installation specifications listed on page 22. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the
Stryker Fastener System.
• Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener.
• Entanglement in powered cot mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the cot only when all persons are
clear of the mechanisms.
• Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper
use can cause injury.
• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/assistants can cause
injury to the patient or themselves.
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips.
• Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
• Transporting the cot sideways can cause the cot to tip, resulting in possible damage to the product and/or injury to the
patient or operator. Transporting the cot in a lowered position, head or foot end first, minimizes the potential of a cot tip.
• Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid
injury, use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the
cot.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and
be injured.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
• Never apply the wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while the wheel
lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 38 for proper restraint strap usage.
Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
• A minimum of two operators are required to transport a patient on the cot.
• In addition to the head and foot end, larger patients may require additional operators.
• Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best
results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
• High obstacles, such as curbing, steps or rough terrain, can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance
or take an alternate route.
• A lift gate stop which is not properly functioning can result in injury to the patient or operator; ensure that the cot is
unable to roll back off of the lift before using the lift with a cot and patient. Verify the lift gate stop is maintained
and functioning properly and ensure that the cot is secure at all times when on the tail lift.
• Whenever the weight of the cot and patient is off of the wheels, the cot will automatically enter the high speed
retract mode if the retract (–) button is pressed.
• Once the weight is off of the ground, the operator(s) must support the load of the patient, cot and any accessories.
Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. 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.
• Do not remove the battery when the cot is activated.
• Avoid direct contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and
be injured.

Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Do not attach restraints to the base or cross tubes, improper restraint attachment could result in damage to the
cot further resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
• Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel
with less than a 6 in diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury
to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
• Ensure that the push bar is properly locked into its mount to prevent the bar from coming out during use and
possibly injuring the operator and/or patient.
• Do not lift the cot with the push bars. Lifting the cot by the push bars may result in failure of the push bar lock
mechanism and may injure the operator and/or patient.
• When not in use, store the push bars in the base storage pouch that is provided with the push bar option.
• To avoid accidental release of the Pedi-Mate®, and possible injury to the infant, ensure that the restraint buckle is
located away from obstructions on the cot or accessories.
• Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot. Use any appropriate
personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion.
• SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT
IF USED IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker EMS equipment, measures
must be taken to insure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to
properly rinse and dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature
corrosion of critical components.
• Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other cot components will increase the risk of
bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
• To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
• Medical electrical equipment requires special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into
service according to the EMC information provided on page 144 to prevent equipment malfunction. Portable and
mobile RF communication equipment can affect Medical Electrical Equipment.
• Explosion Hazard - Do not use cot in presence of flammable anesthetics.
CAUTION
• When charging a battery in an ambulance, locate the charger in an enclosed cabinet and out of patient reach
during transport.
• The unit must be in its lowest position to properly engage the cot fastener (not included). To ensure that the cot
is in the lowest position, press the retract (-) button until the cot stops moving down. This should be done before
attempting to engage the cot into the cot fastener (not included).
• To reduce the risk of damage to the cot or cot fastener, do not attempt to activate the cot height activation while
it is engaged in the cot fastener (not included).
• Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.
• Remove the battery if the cot is not going to be used for an extended period of time (more than 24 hours).
• Only use the battery and charger as specified.
• The cot is not for use with an AC adapter.
• Ensure that the battery is fully charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause
poor cot performance.
• Ensure that the restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot.
• Never operate the cot with the head section or foot section in an unlocked position.
• Wheel lock(s) are only intended to help prevent the cot from rolling while unattended and to aid in patient transfer.
A wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.

Operation Guide
TRANSFERRING THE PATIENT TO THE COT
To transfer the patient to the cot:
1. Roll the cot to the patient.
2. Place the cot beside the patient and raise or lower the cot to the level of the patient.
3. Lower the siderails and open the restraint straps.
4. Engage the wheel locks to prevent the cot from moving during patient transfer.
5. Transfer the patient to the cot using accepted EMS procedures.
6. Use all the restraint straps to secure the patient to the cot (see page 38).
7. Raise the siderails and adjust the backrest and leg rest as necessary.
8. Disengage the wheel locks for transport.
WARNING
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and
be injured.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
• Never apply the wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while the wheel
lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 38 for proper restraint strap usage.
Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
• Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best
results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
ROLLING THE COT
WARNING
• A minimum of two operators are required to transport a patient on the cot.
• In addition to the head and foot end, larger patients may require additional operators.
The Power-PRO TL cot can transport a patient in any height position, however, lower heights may improve balance
and stability, so Stryker recommends keeping the cot in the lowest position that is comfortable for the cot operators.
When rolling the cot:
• Make sure that all of the restraint straps are securely buckled around the patient (see page 38).
• Place the cot in any position for rolling.
• Position an operator at the foot end and one at the head end of the cot at all times when rolling the cot with a
patient on it.
• Approach door sills and/or other low obstacles squarely and lift each set of wheels over the obstacle separately.
WARNING
• High obstacles, such as curbing, steps or rough terrain, can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
• Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or
take an alternate route.

Cleaning
The Power-PRO™ TL cot is designed to be power washable. The unit may show some signs of oxidation or discoloration
from continuous washing, however, no degradation of the cot’s performance characteristics or functionality will occur
due to power washing as long as the proper procedures are followed.
Thoroughly clean the cot once a month. Clean Velcro® AFTER EACH USE. Saturate Velcro® with disinfectant and
allow disinfectant to evaporate. (Appropriate disinfectant for nylon Velcro® should be determined by the service.)
WASHING PROCEDURE
• Always remove the battery! Never wash the cot with the battery installed.
• Followthecleaningsolutionmanufacturer’sdilutionrecommendationsexactly.
• The preferred method Stryker Medical recommends for power washing the cot is with the standard hospital
surgical cart washer or hand held wand unit.
WASHING LIMITATIONS
WARNING
Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot. Use any appropriate
personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion.
CAUTION
• DO NOT STEAM CLEAN OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN THE UNIT.
• Maximum water temperature should not exceed 82°C/180°F.
• Allow to air dry.

Cleaning
In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or quaternary
(excluding Virex® TB) type disinfectants can be used. Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use
because staining may result.
Suggested cleaners for the cot surfaces:
• Quaternary Cleaners (active ingredient - ammonium chloride)
• Phenolic Cleaners (active ingredient - o-phenylphenol)
• Chlorinated Bleach Solution (5.25% - less than 1 part bleach to 100 parts water)
Avoid over saturation and ensure that the product does not stay wet longer than the chemical manufacturer’s guidelines
for proper disinfecting.
WARNING
SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT IF USED
IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker EMS equipment, measures must be taken
to insure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to properly rinse and
dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, 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 (see
page 148).
REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS
Use a solution of 1/2 Tablespoon 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.
Rinse surfaces which have been exposed to the solution in clear water before returning unit to service.
WARNING
Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components will increase the risk of exposure to
bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or the operator.

Preventative Maintenance
Preventative maintenance should be performed at a minimum of annually. A preventative maintenance program should
be established for all Stryker Medical equipment. Preventative maintenance may need to be performed more frequently
based on the usage level of the product. The cot requires regular maintenance. Establish and follow a maintenance
schedule and keep records of maintenance activity (see page 60 for a form).
CAUTION
A preventative maintenance program should be established for all Stryker EMS equipment. Preventative maintenance
may need to be performed more frequently based on the usage level of the product. Close attention should be given to
safety features including, but not limited to:
• Hydraulic power mechanism
• All electrical controls return to off or neutral position when released
For additional maintenance information, see the preventative maintenance information on page 57.
WARNING
• Do not modify the cot or any components of the cot. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product will also void its warranty (see page 148).
• Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
• To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
When using maintenance products, follow the directions of the manufacturer and reference all material safety data
sheets.
CAUTION
• Improper maintenance can cause injury or damage to the product. Maintain the cot as described in this manual.
Use only Stryker approved parts and maintenance procedures. Using unapproved parts and procedures could
cause unpredictable operation and/or injury and will void the product warranty (see page 148).
• Failure to use authorized parts, lubricants, etc. could cause damage to the cot and will void the warranty of the
product.
• Hydraulic lines, hoses, and connections can fail or loosen due to physical damage, kinks, age, and exposure.
Check hoses and lines regularly to avoid damage to the cot. Check and tighten loose connections.
• Do not tip the cot and actuate the product as this will allow air to enter the hydraulic system.
LUBRICATION
The cot has been designed to operate without the need for lubrication.
CAUTION
Do not lubricate the bearings in the X-frame as it will degrade the performance of the cot and may void its warranty (see
page 148).
