• Install the cot fastener by qualified personnel only. Improper installation could result in injury to the patient or operator.
• Always make sure that all cots meet the installation specifications for the Stryker cot fastener system.
• Failure to install the vehicle safety hook may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Always have a certified mechanic, familiar with ambulance vehicle construction, install the safety hook.
• Always make sure that the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the
vehicle patient compartment.
• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the product.
• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load or
unload the cot or change cot height position.
• Do not ride on the base of the cot.
• Do not transport the cot sideways to avoid the risk of tipping. Always transport the cot in a lowered position, head end or
foot end first to minimize the risk of tipping.
• Always keep hands, fingers, and feet away from moving parts. Use caution when placing your hands and feet near the
base tubes while you raise or lower the cot.
• Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the product. An unrestrained patient may fall from the product and
be injured.
• Do not leave a patient unattended. Hold the product while a patient is on the product.
• Do not apply a wheel lock when a patient is on the product or when you move the product to avoid the risk of tipping.
• Do not use siderails as a patient restraint device.
• Always transport the cot at a lower height to reduce the risk of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance or take
an alternate route.
• Always avoid high obstacles, such as curbing, steps, or rough terrain to avoid the risk of the product tipping over.
• Always keep hands away from the foot end release handle when you raise or lower the cot with the side release handle.
• Always remove your foot from the base tube when you are lowering the cot to the lowest position.
• Always use PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD with the 6085/6086 PPeerrffoorrmmaannccee--PPRROO XT, 6500/6506 PPoowweerr--PPRROO XT, and 6510/6516
PPoowweerr--PPRROO IT cots with the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD option only. In certain situations, you can use PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD as a standard
antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without the PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD option.
• Always make sure that you use a PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD date of manufacture cot with the Stryker Model 6390 PPoowweerr--LLOOAADD
system to avoid the risk of injury.
• Always support the load of the patient, cot, and accessories after the weight is off of the ground.
• Two operators must be present when a cot is occupied.
• Always make sure that the safety bar connects with the vehicle safety hook before you remove the cot from the vehicle
patient compartment to avoid the risk of injury.
• Do not pull or lift on the cot safety bar when you unload the cot.
• Always lock the undercarriage before you remove the loading wheels from the vehicle patient compartment floor. An
unlocked undercarriage will not support the cot and injury to the patient or operator could result.
• Always lock the head section into place before you operate the cot.
• Do not load the cot into a vehicle with the head section retracted when using a cot fastener. The cot may tip or not
connect with the cot fastener.
• Do not install or apply a wheel lock on a product with worn wheels that are less than 6 in. diameter.
• Do not leave a patient or occupant unattended. Hold the product while a patient or occupant is on the product.
• Always use two people when using the kickstand.
• Always center the patient weight on the cot before you use the kickstand.
• Always apply the kickstand with your foot only.
• Always lower the cot height before you apply the kickstand for increased stability.
• Do not apply the kickstand during transport. Keep the kickstand in the retracted position.
• Do not use the kickstand as a brake.
