procedures could cause unpredictable operation and/or injury and will void the product warranty .
• Do not allow untrained helpers to assist in the operation of the Stryker Evacuation Chair . Untrained technicians/
helpers can cause injury to the passenger or themselves .
• An unlocked chair can fold during use, causing injury to the passenger or operator . Always make sure the chair is
locked in the unfolded position before use .
• To avoid injury, always verify the lift handles are locked in place before using them to lift the chair .
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the passenger on the chair . An unrestrained passenger may fall from the
chair and be injured .
• Never leave a passenger unattended on the chair or injury could result . Hold the chair securely while a passenger
is on the chair .
• The Stryker Evacuation Chair is not recommended for use with suspected cervical, spinal, or fracture injuries .
• To avoid injury when a passenger weighing more than 200 pounds is on the chair, use a minimum of two operators
to transport on stairs . If more people are required to safely control the chair, see
positioning of each helper .
• Only use the wheel locks during passenger transfer or without a passenger on the chair . Tipping could occur if
the chair is moved while wheel locks are applied, resulting in injury to the passenger or operator and/or damage
to the chair .
• Never use a wheel lock on a chair with excessively worn wheels . Using a wheel lock on a wheel with less than a
5" diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to the passenger or
operator and/or damage to the chair or other equipment .
• To avoid injury, always verify the Stair-TREAD™ system is securely locked in place before transporting the
passenger .
• Water, ice and debris on the stairs can affect operator footing and proper operation of the Stair-TREAD™ system .
To avoid injury, clear the path or consider an alternate route .
• Condensation, water, ice and/or debris on the Stair-TREAD™ system can cause unpredictable performance,
resulting in a sudden change in the weight the operators must support . To avoid injury, and to aid proper operation
of the Stair-TREAD™ system, ensure the belts are clean and dry before transporting the passenger .
• Never lubricate the Stair-TREAD™ system . Lubrication on the system can cause inconsistent operation possibly
resulting in injury to the passenger or operator .
• To avoid injury to the operators and/or the passenger, operators should never attempt to transport passenger loads
greater than what they can safely lift .
• Do not sand the track teeth . Deformation of the teeth can cause unpredictable chair performance resulting in injury
to the operators and/or passenger .
CAUTION
• Casters are not suitable for all surfaces . Caution should be used at all times .
• Wheel locks are only intended to help prevent the empty chair from rolling while unattended and to aid in passenger
transfer . The wheel lock may not provide sufficient resistance on all surfaces or under loads .
• Release the red track release bar before clicking the Stair-TREAD™ system into the locked position . Failure to follow
this procedure could result in the track failing to lock . Always verify the Stair-TREAD™ system is locked by trying
to fold it before descending stairs .
