Summary of Safety Precautions
8
WARNING
S
When the optional head end storage pouch is being used, ensure it does not interfere with the operation
of the safety bar and safety hook. Injury to the patient or operator could occur.
S
Use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of inhaling con-
tagion. Use of powerwashing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot.
S
Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the cot could occur, resulting in injury to
the patient or operator.
S
Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or cot components will increase the risk of
exposure to bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or the operator.
S
Do not modify the Cot. Modifying the cot can cause unpredictable operation resulting
in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the cot will also void its warranty.
CAUTION
S
Height limit kit is recommended for ambulance deck heights less than 30 inches (76 cm) − Stryker part
number 6091−202−000.
S
Damage to the cot can occur if the cot is lowered in the shortened position. Use only positions 5−7 (see
page 14) when the cot is shortened.
S
Do not allow the cot undercarriage to drop unassisted (commonly known as a “hot drop”) when removing
the cot from the vehicle. Repeated hot dropping will cause premature wear or damage to the cot.
S
Do not store items under the cot mattress. Storing items under the mattress can interfere with the opera-
tion of the cot.
S
The weight of the IV bags or equipment must not exceed 40 pounds.
S
Improper maintenance can cause injury or damage to the unit. Maintain the cot as described in this manu-
al. Use only Stryker approved parts and maintenance procedures. Using unapproved parts and proce-
dures could cause unpredictable operation and/or injury and will void the product warranty.
