Stryker Power-PRO XT 6500 Manuel D'utilisation Et D'entretien page 17

NOTE
• Loose items or debris on the patient compartment floor can interfere with the operation of the safety hook and
cot fastener. Keep the patient compartment floor clear.
• This manual should be considered a permanent part of the cot and should remain with the product even if the cot
is subsequently sold.
• Stryker continually seeks advancements in product design and quality. Therefore, while this manual contains the
most current product information available at the time of printing, there may be minor discrepancies between your
cot and this manual. If you have any questions, please contact Stryker Customer Service or Technical Support
at (800) 327-0770 or (269) 324-6500.
• Adjustment of the rail clamp assembly may be required in order to compensate for any variation in the cot retaining
post position depending on the cot manufacturer and model number.
• When replacing an existing safety hook with a new style, adjust the mounting location to maintain the proper
position of the safety hook face.
• Stryker recommends that, prior to installation, the certified mechanic plan the placement of the safety hook in the
rear of the vehicle.
• If the extend (+) button on the control switch remains activated after reaching the set load height, the motor will
remain halted until the operator releases the button. Once the button is released, press the extend (+) button
again to "jog" the cot height up further.
• The operators must lift the cot weight slightly off of the wheels to use the manual extend or retract while a patient
is on the cot.
• Activation of the manual back-up release handle may cause the cot to lower slowly if less than 40 pounds (18 kg)
are on the cot.
• Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the cot is used for extended periods in cold temperatures. When
using the manual back-up release function to extend the base during unloading in cold weather conditions, hold
the release handle for approximately one second after the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize sagging of the
litter as the cot is removed from the ambulance.
• When operating the manual back-up release handle, avoid rapid lifting or lowering of the base or movement may
appear sluggish; lift with a slow constant motion.
• Batteries slowly lose power when not on the charger.
• Inspect the straps and clips for wear between use and replace the strap if it is no longer holding the oxygen bottle.
• These are general instructions for installation of the Pedi-Mate®. Safe and proper use of the Pedi-Mate® is solely
at the discretion of the user. Stryker recommends that all users be trained on the proper use of the Pedi-Mate®
before using it in an actual situation. Retain these instructions for future reference. Include them with the product
in the event of transfer to new users.
• Failure to follow the cleaning directions when using the specified types of cleaners may void this product's
warranty (see page 1-97).
• If the arrow on the bottom bracket of the retaining post points toward the head end of the cot, the retaining post is
set for an X-frame style cot. If the arrow points toward the foot end of the cot the post is set for an H-frame style
cot.
