unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.
• Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this
manual.
• Do not modify the cot or any components of the cot. Modifying the product can cause unpredictable operation
resulting in injury to the patient or operator. Modifying the product also voids its warranty (see

Power-LOAD) (see
• It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Cot Fastener Systems
meets the installation specifications listed on
Stryker Fastener System.
• The in-fastener shut-off must be positioned properly before placing the cot into service. Failure to install the in-
fastener shut-off may cause injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the vehicle.
• Do not attempt to operate the cot when it is loaded into a cot fastener.
• The in-fastener shut-off is only a means for disabling the electronic functionality. Damage to the product and/or
injury to the patient and/or operator may occur if used for any other purpose.
• Have the vehicle safety hook installed by a certified mechanic. Improper safety hook installation can cause injury
to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• Failure to install the safety hook can cause injury to the patient or operator. Install and use the safety hook as
described on
• The face of the safety hook that engages the safety bar should be located at least 3-3/4" from the leading edge
of the door sill. After installation, verify that the cot legs lock into the load position without contacting the vehicle
bumper.
• To avoid injury, verify that the safety bar has engaged the safety hook before removing the cot from the patient
compartment.
• Verify that the safety hook always engages the cot safety bar regardless of how the cot is unloaded from the
vehicle or injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot may occur.
• The cot must have at least 5/8" of clearance between the vehicle bumper and the cot to disengage the safety bar
when unloading the cot from the vehicle. Verify that the cot legs lock into the load position before disengaging the
safety bar from the safety hook. Failure to properly lock the cot height into position can cause injury to the patient
or operator and/or damage to the cot.
• To avoid risk of electric shock, never attempt to open the battery pack for any reason. If the battery pack case
is cracked or damaged, do not insert it into the charger. Return damaged battery packs to a service center for
recycling.
• Do not remove the battery when the cot is activated.
• Avoid direct contact with a wet battery or battery enclosure. Contact may cause injury to the patient or operator.
• Entanglement in powered cot mechanisms can cause serious injury. Operate the cot only when all persons
are clear of the mechanisms.
• Inspect SMRT™ Paks for damage before every use.
• Practice changing height positions and loading the cot until operation of the product is fully understood.
Improper use can cause injury.
• Do not allow untrained assistants to assist in the operation of the cot. Untrained technicians/assistants can
cause injury to the patient or themselves.
• Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
• Transporting the cot sideways can cause the cot to tip, resulting in possible damage to the product and/or injury to the
patient or operator. Transporting the cot in a lowered position, head or foot end first, minimizes the potential of a cot tip.
• Grasping the cot improperly can cause injury. Keep hands, fingers and feet away from moving parts. To avoid injury,
use extreme caution when placing your hands and feet near the base tubes while raising and lowering the cot.
• Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
