Preventive Maintenance - Stryker Power Pro Cot 6500 RUGGED Manuel D'utilisation

Preventative Maintenance
The POWER PRO XT ambulance cot requires regular maintenance. Establish and follow a maintenance
schedule and keep records of maintenance activity (see page 62 for a form).
WARNING
Do not modify the POWER PRO XT 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.
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.
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 ambulance 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.
Failure to use authorized parts, lubricants, etc. could cause damage to the ambulance 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 ambulance cot onto its load wheels and actuate the product as this will allow air to enter the hydraulic
system.
