Summary of Safety Precautions
WARNING (CONTINUED)
• Keep hands and extremities clear of the Power-LOAD trolley lifting arms and the cot base during powered loading
and unloading.
• Return damaged batteries to a service center for recycling. Do not dispose of the battery.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the battery when Power-LOAD in operation.
• Before servicing Power-LOAD, disconnect the vehicle battery, press the main power button to turn the unit off, and
then place the trolley into the loading position.
• Do not press the main power button to turn the unit off during normal use as it will prevent battery charging.
• 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.
• 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.
• Loading and/or unloading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators.
• Make sure that all occupants enter the vehicle patient compartment after the Power-LOAD compatible cot has
been loaded into the vehicle patient compartment.
• As the cot is unlocked for removal from the vehicle patient compartment, the Power-LOAD lifting arms will slightly
raise the cot. If the lifting arms do not raise the cot, then the operators must be ready to accept the entire weight
of the cot and patient to avoid injury.
• When unloading the cot, ensure that the cot wheels are on the ground before lowering the arms.
• When unloading a cot from the vehicle patient compartment while Power-LOAD is experiencing a power loss or
system error, the operators must be ready to accept the entire weight of the cot and patient.
• Removing a cot from a vehicle for repair requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators.
• Always press the main power button to turn the unit off before service or cleaning.
• Use any appropriate personal safety equipment, such as goggles or respirators, to avoid the risk of inhaling
contagion.
• SOME CLEANING PRODUCTS ARE CORROSIVE IN NATURE AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT IF
USED IMPROPERLY. If the products described above are used to clean Stryker patient care equipment, measures
must be taken to insure the units are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure
to properly rinse and dry the units will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the units, possibly causing
premature corrosion of critical components.
• To avoid the risk of injury, replace Power-LOAD if it has been involved in an accident. A fastener that has been
involved in a accident may be damaged, possibly causing failure to operate properly.
CAUTION
• Changes or modifications to the Power-LOAD system not expressly approved by Stryker could void the user’s
authority to operate the system.
• This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to
part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to
cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their expense.
