Preventive maintenance
WARNING
•
Always relieve pressure before you disconnect hydraulic or other lines. Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate
the skin and cause serious injury. Tighten all connections before you apply pressure. If an accident occurs, see a
doctor immediately.
•
Do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
CAUTION
•
Always use authorized parts to avoid the risk of product damage.
•
Always check hoses and lines regularly to avoid damage to the cot. Check and tighten loose connections. Hydraulic
lines, hoses, and connections can fail or loosen due to physical damage, kinks, age, and environment exposure.
•
Do not tip the cot onto its load wheels and actuate the product as this will allow air to enter the hydraulic system.
Establish and follow a maintenance schedule and keep records of the maintenance activity. Remove product from
service before you perform the preventive maintenance inspection. You may need to perform preventive maintenance
checks more often based on your level of product usage. Service only by qualified personnel.
When using maintenance products, follow the directions of the manufacturer and reference all material safety data
sheets (MSDS).
Lubrication
The cot has been designed to operate without the need for lubrication.
CAUTION
Do not lubricate the bearings in the X-frame as it will degrade the performance of the cot and may void its warranty.
Regular inspection and adjustments
The following schedule is a general guide to maintenance. Factors such as weather, terrain, geographical location, and
individual usage will alter the required maintenance schedule. If you are unsure how to perform these checks, contact
your Stryker service technician. If you are in doubt as to what intervals to follow to maintain your product, consult your
Stryker service technician. Check each routine and replace worn parts if necessary.
