(9 kg) (20 lb).
• Ensure that the storage pouch does not interfere with the operation of the retractable head section.
• To avoid damage to the oxygen bottle holder (if equipped), the weight of the equipment must not exceed 2.9 stones
(18 kg) (40 lb).
• Only use oxygen bottles which lie within the width of the cot and are large enough to be firmly held by the straps.
• DO NOT STEAM CLEAN OR ULTRASONICALLY CLEAN THE UNIT.
• Maximum water temperature should not exceed 82°C/180°F.
• Maximum air dry temperature (cart washers) is 115°C/240°F.
• Maximum water pressure should not exceed 130.5 bar/1500 psi. If a hand held wand is being used to wash the
unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 61 cm (24 inches) from the unit.
• Towel dry all casters and interface points.
• Failure to comply with these instructions may invalidate any/all warranties.
• Always remove the battery before washing the cot.
• 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.
• Improper maintenance can cause injury or damage to the product. Maintain the cot as described in this manual.

is necessary, observe the unit to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
• Possible fire hazard when used with oxygen administering equipment of other than the nasal, mask or 1/2 bed
length tent type. Oxygen tent should not extend below mattress support level. An oxygen rich environment is an
environment where the oxygen concentration levels are greater than 25% for ambient pressures up to 110 kPa or
the partial pressure of oxygen is greater than 27.5 kPa at ambient pressures exceeding 110 kPa.
