48 6390-009-001 REV B www.stryker.comReturn To Table of ContentsOPERATING GUIDELINESǨɣ Check Power-LOAD for proper functionality before starting each shift (the lifting arms should slightly raise the cot as the cot is unlocked, check the battery power level, etc.). If the unit does not seem to be operating properly, remove the vehicle from service to diagnose and repair Power-LOAD.Ǩɣ Do not operate Power-LOAD with weights greater than 700 lb (318 kg), which includes patient weight and accessories. The safe working load of Power-LOAD is 870 lb (395 kg), which includes the weight of the cot.Ǩɣ Do not turn off the main power button during normal use as it will prevent battery charging.Ǩɣ Do not drive the vehicle with the trolley in the mid position. This position does not lock and is not intended for driving.Ǩɣ Power-LOAD is only an assisting device. Operators are responsible for evaluating each situation to determine how to distribute and lift the weight being transported. Always use both hands when handling the cot.Ǩɣ When handling weights over 400 lb (181 kg), ensure there are enough operators to handle the forces required for loading/unloading. To increase safety, users should attempt to perform loading/unloading on flat surfaces.Ǩɣ Keep hands and extremities clear of the Power-LOAD trolley lifting arms and the cot base during powered loading and unloading.Ǩɣ Use caution when operating Power-LOAD in adverse weather conditions (for example, rain, ice, snow) to avoid operator and/or patient injury. Ǩɣ Operate Power-LOAD with the vehicle on a flat surface, if possible.Ǩɣ If you are unable to unload an occupied cot from the vehicle patient compartment, use a backboard to unload the patient. Ǩɣ Stryker recommends periodic training (at least once per year) on manual backup procedures. See “Unloading a Cot From a Vehicle Manually (Power-LOAD Power Loss or System Error)” on page 59, “Loading a Cot into a Vehicle Manually (Power-LOAD Power Loss or System Error)” on page 61, “Unloading a Cot from a Vehicle Manually” on page 62 “Unloading a Cot from a Vehicle Manually” on page 62, “Loading a Cot into a Vehicle Manually (Power-PRO Power Loss)” on page 64. WARNINGǨɣ Improper usage of the Power-LOAD system or any accessory can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the Power-LOAD system and accessories only as described in the manuals.Ǩɣ Failure to ensure proper Power-LOAD functionality prior to use may result in patient and/or operator injury.Ǩɣ Use caution while moving around in the vehicle patient compartment to avoid tripping on Power-LOAD.Ǩɣ To avoid the risk of operator and/or patient injury, use caution when operating Power-LOAD in adverse weather conditions (for example, rain, ice, snow).Ǩɣ Entanglement in powered cot and/or Power-LOAD mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the cot and/or Power-LOAD only when all persons are clear of the mechanisms.Ǩɣ Practice loading and unloading the cot with Power-LOAD until operation of the product is fully understood. Improper use can cause injury.Ǩɣ Do not allow untrained personnel to assist in the operation of Power-LOAD. Untrained technicians/personnel can cause injury to the patient or themselves.Ǩɣ To reduce the risk of patient injury and/or equipment damage, do not drive the vehicle with the trolley in the mid position. This position does not lock and is not intended for driving.Ǩɣ Power-LOAD is only an assisting device. Operators are responsible for evaluating each situation to determine how to distribute and lift the weight being transported.

When fully discharged, the battery requires approximately 10 hours to recharge. The batteries charge whenever the trolley is locked into the head end of the vehicle patient compartment.To charge the battery:1. Raise the lifting arms and manually push the trolley into the head end of the vehicle patient compartment.2. Lock the trolley at the head end of the vehicle patient compartment. Note: The battery power LED flashes green when the battery is charging.To check the battery power level, see “Checking the Battery Power Level”.Note: If Power-LOAD will not be in use for a week or more, press the main power button to turn the unit off and avoid draining the battery. WARNINGDo not press the main power button to turn the unit off during normal use as it will prevent battery charging.STORING POWER-LOADAll batteries lose charge during storage or periods of inactivity. If Power-LOAD will not be in use for a week or more, press the main power button to turn the unit off and avoid draining the battery. SETTING THE COT LOAD HEIGHTYou must set the cot load height for the cot with the Power-LOAD option before placing the vehicle into service. For a list of compatible cots, see “Vehicle Cot Compatibility Information” on page 14. See the Operations/Maintenance Manual for your cot for more information about how to set the appropriate cot height.Operation Guide

The loading and unloading operations are similar to the instructions for manual loading and unloading of a cot (see page 61), however, a rail clamp assembly is used instead of a foot end cot lock. When loading a non-compatible cot, lock the cot retaining post into the rail clamp assembly.The mass casualty option contains a rail assembly for wall or floor mount. You should store this rail assembly in a cabinet in case of emergency for quick attachment in the vehicle patient compartment. WARNINGǨɣ To prevent the cot frame from coming out of the rail jaws, the space between the rail clamp and the rail stationary jaw must never exceed 1 in (2.5 cm). To prevent the cot from coming out of the rail jaws and causing possible injury to the patient or user, the rail clamp must not overlap the red adjustment limit label on the rail tube.Ǩɣ The rail clamp fastener closes with a strong spring action. To avoid injury, do not use hand or fingers to press the manual trolley release button when the rail jaws are open.EXTENDING POWER-LOAD FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A COTTo extend Power-LOAD from the vehicle patient compartment without a cot:1. Walk to the head end of the Power-LOAD system.2. While raising the lifting arms, press the manual trolley release button at the head end of the Power-LOAD system as shown in Figure 33.3.
