Summary of Safety Precautions
The following is a list of safety precautions that must be observed when operating or servicing this unit. The precautions
are repeated throughout the manual, where applicable. Carefully read this list before using or servicing the unit.
WARNINGS
Do not modify the ambulance cot or any components of the cot, including the hydraulic unit. Modifying the product •
can cause unpredictable operation resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product will also void
its warranty.
The in-fastener shut-off module must be positioned properly before placing the ambulance cot into EMS service. •
Failure to install the in-fastener shut-off module may cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the
vehicle.
It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure the ambulance cot being used in the Stryker cot fastener •
system meets the installation specifications listed on page 23. Injury may result if a non-compatible ambulance cot
is used in the Stryker cot fastener system.
Have the vehicle safety hook installed by a certified mechanic. Improper safety hook installation can result in injury •
to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
Failure to install the vehicle safety hook can result in injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety •
hook as described in this manual. To avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before
removing the ambulance cot from the patient compartment.
Install the vehicle safety hook at least 1/8" (3 mm) from the edge of the rear ambulance door. After installation, •
verify that the undercarriage locks in the load position without contacting the emergency vehicle bumper.
The ambulance cot must have at least 5/8" (1,6 mm) of clearance between the emergency vehicle bumper and •
the ambulance cot to disengage the safety bar when unloading the product from the ambulance. Verify that the
product is locked in a rolling position before disengaging the safety bar from the safety hook (if equipped).
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 ambulance cot or accessories.
Never apply the optional wheel lock(s) while a patient is on the ambulance cot. Tipping could occur if the •
ambulance cot is moved while wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage
to the product.
Never install or use wheel locks on an ambulance cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using wheel locks •
on wheels with less than a 6" (16 cm) diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, resulting
in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the product or other equipment.
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 ambulance cot is activated.•
Avoid contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.•
When the optional head-end storage flat is being used, ensure it does not interfere with the operation of the •
retractable head section, safety bar and safety hook. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
Improper usage of the ambulance cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the ambulance cot only •
as described in this manual.
Entanglement in powered ambulance cot mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the ambulance cot only •
when all persons are clear of the mechanisms.
Practice changing height positions and loading and unloading the ambulance 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 ambulance cot. Untrained technicians/assistants •
can cause injury to the patient or themselves.
Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and •
unloading the cot.
Do not ride on the base of the ambulance cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient •
or operator.
Grasping the ambulance cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. •

Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNINGS (CONTINUED)
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, will minimize the potential
of a cot tip.
Any emergency vehicle to be used with this ambulance cot • must have the in-fastener shut-off system installed.
Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient to the ambulance cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from •
the ambulance cot and be injured.
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 leave a patient unattended on the ambulance cot or injury could result. Hold the ambulance cot securely •
while a patient is on the cot.
Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. Refer to • pages 28 and 30 for proper restraint strap
usage. Failure to utilize the siderails properly could result in patient injury.
High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the ambulance cot to tip, possibly causing injury •
to the patient or operator. Transporting the cot in lower positions can reduce the potential of a cot tip. If possible,
obtain additional assistance (see page 55 for a reference chart) or take an alternate route.
Whenever the weight of the ambulance cot and patient is off the wheels, the ambulance cot will • automatically
enter the high speed retract mode if the retract button is pressed.
Once the weight is off the ground, the operator(s) must support the load of the patient, ambulance cot and any •
accessories. Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator.
To avoid injury, verify the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the ambulance cot from the •
patient compartment.
Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the ambulance cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and •
injury to the patient or operator could occur.
Do not press the extend (+) button until the safety bar engages the safety hook.•
To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is locked into place prior to operating the ambulance cot (see •
page 54). The head section must be extended and locked into position before loading/unloading the ambulance
cot.
When using a standard ambulance cot fastener, do not load the cot into the vehicle with the head section retracted. •
Loading the cot with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot
fastener, possibly causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty ambulance cot. Do not use the •
procedures when loading/unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
Do not attempt to operate the ambulance cot when loaded into a cot fastener. The in-fastener shut-off is • only a
means for disabling the electronic functionality. Damage to the product or injury to the patient or operator may
occur.
In-fastener shut-off must be installed in all ambulances in which the cot will be used.•
Use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling contagion. •
Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the ambulance cot.
Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other ambulance cot components will increase •
the risk of bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator.
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.
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 patient care 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.
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.

Summary of Safety Precautions
CAUTIONS
Set the cot height limit to the proper stop height prior to operation.•
Installation of the safety hook should be done by a certified mechanic familiar with ambulance construction. •
Consult the vehicle manufacturer before installing the safety hook and be sure the installation of the safety hook
does not damage or interfere with the brake lines, oxygen lines, fuel lines, fuel tank or electrical wiring of the
vehicle.
Ensure that restraints are not entangled in the base frame when raising and lowering the cot. •
Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the ambulance cot from rolling while unattended. Wheel locks may •
not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads.
The ambulance cot fastener comes preconfigured for an X-Frame cot, if the fastener has been configured for an •
H-frame style cot, the cot retaining post must be adjusted to accommodate the fastener.
Only use the battery and charger as specified.•
The Power-PRO™ XT is not for use with an AC adaptor.•
Ensure that the battery is charged prior to placing into service. An uncharged or depleted battery may cause poor •
ambulance cot performance.
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, refer to the preventative maintenance section.•
Do not store items under the ambulance cot mattress. Storing items under the mattress can interfere with the •
operation of the ambulance cot.
The weight of the equipment in the head end storage flat (if equipped) must not exceed 40 pounds (18 kg). •
The weight of the equipment in the pocketed backrest storage pouch (if equipped) must not exceed 20 pounds •
(9 kg).
To avoid damage to the equipment hook, the weight of the accessories or equipment must not exceed 20 pounds •
(9 kg).
The weight of the I.V. bags or equipment must not exceed 40 pounds (18 kg) for usage on the I.V. poles •
(if equipped).
The weight of the oxygen bottle cylinder and/or other equipment must not exceed 40 pounds (18 kg) with the •
permanent foot-end oxygen bottle holder (if equipped). Oxygen bottle cylinder should not be stored on the cot or
on the oxygen holder when in the ambulance vehicle.
The weight of the removable oxygen bottle holder and/or other equipment must not exceed 25 pounds (11.3 kg) •
Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.•
The ambulance cot can be set at any height position. Establish the required load height for the ambulance cot •
prior to placing the unit into service.
Loading, unloading or changing the position of a loaded ambulance cot requires a minimum of• two trained
operators. The operator(s) must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any other items on the cot
(if additional assistance is needed, see page 53 for a reference chart).
When unloading the ambulance cot from the patient compartment, ensure the caster wheels are safely set on the •
ground or damage to the product may occur.
Do not “jog” the ambulance cot past the established load height of the product when the safety bar engages the •
vehicle safety hook or damage may occur to the product.
Remove the battery if the cot is not going to be used for an extended period of time (over 24 hours).•
Remove the battery before washing the cot.•
Do not steam clean or ultrasonically clean this ambulance cot. Maximum water temperature should not exceed •
180 °F/82 °C. Maximum air dry temperature (cart washers) is 240 °F/115 °C. Maximum water pressure should not
exceed 1500 psi/130.5 bar. If a hand held wand is being used to wash the unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept
a minimum of 61 centimeters from the unit. Towel dry all casters and interface points. Failure to comply with these
instructions may invalidate any/all warranties.

Setup Procedures
COT LOAD HEIGHT AND “JOG” FUNCTION
The control mechanism of the ambulance cot utilizes height sensors to set the load height stop for the cot. The sensors
are used to match the load wheel height for a specific ambulance deck height.
The ambulance cot load height can be set from 26" to 36" (66 cm to 91,4 cm), measured from the ground to the bottom
of the load wheel. Establish the height for the cot prior to placing the unit into service. The load height of the ambulance
cot can be modified at anytime, but must be determined and set before the cot is placed into service.
To Set Cot Load Height:
1. Locate the sensor housing on the patient right side of the ambulance cot (Figure 4a), using a T27 Torx wrench,
remove the sensor housing cover by loosening the two (2) screws (one on each end) (Figure 4b).
Figure 4a - Sensor Housing
2. Adjust only the left height sensor (Figure 4c).
a. Move the sensor to the far left, then push the plus (+) button to
move the cot to its highest position.
b. Measure the cot height from the bottom of the load wheels to the
floor.
c. To reach the desired cot height you will need to adjust the cylinder
shaft. Loosen the nut at the end of the shaft (Figure 4d).
i. To increase the height, rotate the shaft clockwise.
Note: Do not exceed 36”
ii. To decrease cot height, rotate the shaft counter-clockwise.
Note: Add an additional 1/2" (1,3 cm) to your deck height
measurement to allow for variations with patient weight
and other equipment added to the cot.
3. After the proper load wheel height is set, ensure all the height sensor
cables are secured and are lying flat in the housing between the sensors
(Figure 4e). Replace the sensor housing cover using the screws removed
in step 1.
4. Following completion of the sensor height adjustment, verify the cot
properly engages the safety hook.

IN-FASTENER SHUT-OFF
Cot Fastener Installation
WARNING
The in-fastener shut-off must be positioned properly before
placing the cot into service. Failure to install the in-fastener
shut-off may cause injury to the patient or operator and/or
damage to the vehicle.
The ambulance cot and fastener system have an integrated
in-fastener shut-off function that disables the cot motor when
the cot is secured in the ambulance cot fastener. Be sure
the bolts on the fastener are tightened before installing the
shut-off bracket. The shut-off magnet must be installed on
the rail clamp assembly before putting the ambulance cot
into service.
1. Place the ambulance cot into a loading position (any
position where the load wheels of the head section meet
the vehicle floor height). Roll the ambulance cot to the
open door of the patient compartment. Lift the vehicle
bumper to the raised position (if possible).
2. Push the ambulance cot forward until the load wheels
are on the patient compartment floor and the safety bar
passes the safety hook.
3. For maximum clearance to lift the base, pull the
ambulance cot until the safety bar engages the safety
hook.
4. Raise the base and push the ambulance cot into the
patient compartment following loading instructions.
5. Engage the extended head section of the cot into the cot
fastener antler and secure the cot post into the fastener
rail clamp.
6. Adjust the magnet assembly along the rail clamp until the
arrow on the sensor housing is lined up with the fastener
as shown in Figure 7.
7. Using a T27 Torx wrench, securely fasten the bolts
attaching the magnet assembly to the rail clamp
assembly.
8. Press the retract (–) button to ensure the motor does
not turn on while the cot is in the fastener. The battery
indictor will still light. If the cot moves, readjust the cot
fastener.
Note: Align the ‘diamond’ on the sensor housing
cover with the pop rivet head on the in-ambulance
shut-off.

AMBULANCE CONFIGURATION
The vehicle safety hook is a device shipped with the cot. The safety hook activates the safety bar and prevents the
cot from being removed from the vehicle accidently. The vehicle safety hook was designed to ensure compatibility and
proper operation of the cot during unloading when used in an ambulance vehicle compliant with Federal Regulation
KKK-A-1822.
According to federal regulations (reference KKK-A-1822), the bumper height of the ambulance shall be installed
equidistant ± 5 cm (2 inches) from the ambulance floor to the ground level, defined as the ambulance deck height
(Figure 9a). The bumper step shall have a minimum depth of 13 cm (5 inches) and a maximum depth of 25 cm (10
inches). If the bumper depth is greater than 18 cm (7 inches), then the bumper must be able to fold. Installation of the
safety hook into any ambulance vehicle compliant with this federal specification will provide adequate clearance for
the cot base to lower to its fully extended position (Figure 9b). The cot is compatible with all ambulance deck heights
up to 36 inches (91 cm) as long as the ambulance meets the federal specifications outlined in KKK-A-1822.

Changing height of the cot while a patient is on the cot requires a minimum of two (2) operators, positioned at each
end of the ambulance cot.
Operator 1 - Grasp the ambulance cot frame at the foot-end. Actuate the control switch, depress either the (+) or (–)
button depending on desired travel direction, and allow the litter to raise/lower to the desired position.
Operator 2 - Maintain a firm grip on the outer rail until the ambulance cot is securely in position.
WARNING
Grasping the ambulance 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
ambulance cot.
NOTE
If the push button switch remains activated, the motor will remain halted until the operator releases the button. Once
the push button is released, actuate the extend (+) button again to “jog” the cot height up further.
CAUTION
Do not “jog” the ambulance cot past the established load height of the product when the safety bar engages the vehicle
safety hook or damage may occur to the product.

Cot Operation
OPERATING THE RETRACTABLE HEAD SECTION
The head section telescopes from a first position suitable
for loading the ambulance cot into an emergency vehicle
to a second position retracted within the litter frame. When
retracted, the ambulance cot can roll in any direction on the
caster wheels even in the lowest position, allowing improved
mobility and maneuverability.
To extend the head section:
• Grasptheouterrailwithonehandforsupportandrelease
the lever (A), rotate the lever towards the head end of the
cot to release the head section from the locked position.
• Whileholdingthehandle(A)inthereleasedposition,pull
the head section away from the litter frame, lengthening
the head section until it engages in the fully extended
position.
To retract the head section:
• Grasptheouterrailwithonehandforsupportandrelease
the lever (A), rotate the lever towards the head end of the
cot to release the head section from the locked position.
• Whileholdingthehandle(A)inthereleasedposition,push
the head section toward the litter frame, retracting the
head section until it engages in the retracted position.
Figure 61 - Head Section Extended
WARNING
To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is locked
into place prior to operating the ambulance cot.
When using a standard ambulance cot fastener, do not attempt
to load the ambulance cot into the patient compartment with
the head section retracted. Loading the ambulance cot with
the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not
engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly causing injury to
the patient or operator and/or damage to the product.

Figure 64 - Battery Removal & Replacement
The ambulance cot is supplied with two removable 24-volt DeWALT® batteries as the power source. To install the battery,
align the tabs in the battery enclosure and push the battery into the enclosure until the latch clicks into place.
To remove the battery, locate the red battery release (A) along the patient left side of the foot end control enclosure.
Push the battery release button to release the latch. Slide the released battery out of the enclosure to the left (not
shown).
To reinstall the battery, align the tabs in the battery enclosure and push the battery into the enclosure until the latch
clicks into place. The indicator will light GREEN, if the battery is fully charged or has adequate battery power. If the
indicator flashes red, the battery needs to be recharged or replaced.
NOTE
Batteries slowly lose power when not on the charger.
WARNING
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 ambulance cot is activated.•
Avoid contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.•
CAUTION
Remove the battery if the cot is not going to be used for an extended period of time (over 24 hours).

Cleaning
In general, when used in those concentrations recommended by the manufacturer, either phenolic type or quaternary
type disinfectants can be used. Iodophor type disinfectants are not recommended for use because staining may
result.
Suggested cleaners for the Power-PRO™ XT cot surfaces:
Qu• aternary 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 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 patient care 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.
REMOVAL OF IODINE COMPOUNDS
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.
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.
