Stryker Power-PRO 2 - Loading the cot into a vehicle

• Always center the patient and equipment or accessories. Lock adjustable features and intended lift points before you
transport a patient 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 a cot tip or
injury.
• Always use the specified push/pull locations to reduce the risk of a cot tip or injury.
• Always stow and latch the transport handle before you load, unload, or use the transport handle to lift the cot.
To push or pull the cot:
1. Press either one of the transport handle latch buttons and pull out the transport handle.
2. Check that the litter is perpendicular when you approach door sills or other low obstacles.
3. Lift each set of transport wheels over the door sill or obstacle separately.
NNoottee -- You can also lock the transport handle in the 90 degree upright position to push or pull the cot. See Figure 14,
Figure 15, and Figure 16 for transport handle locking positions.

Always load an occupied cot with a minimum of two trained operators. Two operators must be present when a cot is
occupied. Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot, and any items on the cot.
WWAARRNNIINNGG
• Always support the load of the patient, cot, and accessories after the weight is off of the ground.
• Always use two operators when a cot is occupied.
• Always follow proper hand placement on hand grips. Keep all hands clear of the red safety bar pivots when you load,
unload, or change the cot height position.
• 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.
• Always make sure that the cot is locked in the cot fastener before you load and unload. Injury may occur if the cot is not
secure.
• Always try to load and unload the cot on level ground to reduce the risk of a cot tip or injury.
• Do not use the jog function to jog past the set cot load height after the cot safety bar connects with the vehicle safety
hook.
• Always operate the cot only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms. Entanglement in powered cot mechanisms
can cause serious injury.
• Always stow and latch the transport handle before you load, unload, or use the transport handle to lift the cot.
CCAAUUTTIIOONN -- Always clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient before operating the
product.
Stryker recommends that both operators are at the foot end to reduce the load on each operator. One or two operators can
lift from the foot end of the cot. The operator must be able to lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to extend when the cot
is unloaded.
