CLEANING
Model 1005 stretchers are designed to be power−washable. The unit may show some signs of oxidation or
discoloration from continuous washing. However, no degradation of the stretcher’s performance characteris-
tics or functionality will occur due to power washing as long as the proper procedures are followed.
S Follow the cleaning solution manufacturer’s dilution recommendations exactly.
S Remove the mattress prior to washing the unit; do not wash the mattress with the stretcher.
S Position the Fowler at 45_, place the unit in full reverse Trendelenburg (foot end down), raise the siderails,
and place the I.V. poles and push handles in the up position.
S Stryker Medical recommends the standard hospital surgical cart washer for power washing Model 1005
stretchers.
S Do not replace the mattress on the stretcher until the unit is completely dry.
S Before returning the unit to service, verify all labels are intact, verify the brake/steer pedal locks properly
in both positions and check all components for proper lubrication.
DO NOT STEAM CLEAN THE UNIT. Use a maximum water temperature of 180_F/82_C. Maximum air dry
temperature (cart washers) is 240_F/115_C. Water pressure − 1500 psi/103.5 bar. If a hand held wand is
being used to wash the unit, the pressure nozzle must be kept a minimum of 24 inches/.61m from the unit.
Stretchers must have maintenance performed after a minimum of every fifth washing. Refer to the mainte-
nance manual for specific lubrication instructions.
