Using The Manual Override - Stryker Power-PRO IT Manual De Uso Y Mantenimiento

USING THE MANUAL OVERRIDE

English
In the event of loss of electrical function, the cot is equipped with a manual override to allow manual operation of the
product until electrical functionality is restored. You can use the red manual back-up release handle to raise or lower
the cot.
The red manual back-up release handle (A) is located along the patient left side of the lower lift bar at the foot end of
the cot as shown in Figure 24.
A
To raise or lower the cot with the manual back-up release handle:
1. Both Operators − Lift the cot during the raise/lower operation to support the weight of the cot at each end.
2. Operator 1 (Foot End) − Pull the manual back-up release handle toward the lift bar. While the manual back-up
release handle is pulled, raise or lower the cot to the desired position and then release the handle to lock the cot
into position.
Notes:
• The operators must lift the cot weight slightly off of the wheels to use the manual extend or retract while a patient
is on the cot.
• Activation of the manual back-up release handle may cause the cot to lower slowly if less than 50 lb (23 kg) are
on the cot.
• Hydraulic fluid will become more viscous when the cot is used for extended periods in cold temperatures. When
using the manual back-up release function to extend the base during unloading in cold weather conditions, hold
the release handle for approximately one second after the cot wheels touch the ground to minimize sagging of the
litter as the cot is removed from the ambulance.
