Introduction
This manual is designed to assist you with the operation and maintenance of the Stryker Power-PRO™ XT cot. Read
this manual thoroughly before using the equipment or beginning maintenance on it. To ensure safe operation of this
equipment, it is recommended that methods and procedures be established for educating and training staff on the safe
operation of this cot.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Stryker Model 6506 Power-PRO™ XT is a powered ambulance cot that consists of a platform mounted on a
wheeled X-frame designed to support and transport a maximum weight of 700 lb (318 kg) in pre-hospital and hospital
environments. The device is collapsible for use in emergency vehicles and has an adjustable load height feature to
allow the device to be set to different ambulance deck heights for proper body mechanics during loading and unloading.
The NiCd battery-powered hydraulic lift system allows operators to raise and lower the cot using the powered controls,
while duplicate foot-end controls on the upper and lower lift bars accommodate different operator positions or sizes.
The cot is equipped with a manual back-up release handle to allow the operation of cot functions in the event of
power loss. The device is equipped with the following: a retractable head section for 360-degree mobility in any height
position, side rails, patient securement straps, an adjustable pneumatic backrest and various optional accessories that
assist with transport of the patient. Maximum patient comfort is attainable with the three different litter positions of
shock, flat leg and optional knee gatch positioning.
INTENDED USE OF PRODUCT
The Stryker Power-PRO™ is a powered wheeled stretcher, which is intended to support and transport the entire body
of a traumatized, ambulatory or non-ambulatory human patient (includes infants and adults). The battery-powered
hydraulic lift system is intended to help reduce the effort required by the operator to raise and lower the cot. The device
is designed to support patients in a supine (horizontal) or sitting position and facilitate the transportation of associated
medical equipment (i.e. oxygen bottles, monitors, and/or pumps) in emergency/transport vehicles. This ambulance cot
is intended to be used in pre-hospital and hospital environments, in emergency and non-emergency applications. It is
rated to a maximum capacity of 700 lb (318 kg) (sum of the patient, mattress and accessory weight) and the intended
operators of the device are trained professionals including emergency medical service and medical care center
personnel, as well as medical first responders.

Summary of Safety Precautions
Carefully read and strictly follow the warnings and cautions listed on these pages. Service only by qualified personnel.
WARNING
•
Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and
unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.
• To avoid the risk of patient or operator injury, use both hands when transporting the cot.
• 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 page 118).
• Any emergency vehicle to be used with this cot must have the in-fastener shut-off system installed (if not using
Power-LOAD) (see page 27).
• 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 page 26. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the
Stryker Fastener System.
• The in-fastener shut-off must be positioned properly before placing the cot into service. Failure to install the infastener 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 page 29.
• 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.
Ǩ 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.

Always use all restraint straps to secure the patient on the cot. An unrestrained patient may fall from the cot and
be injured.
Never leave a patient unattended on the cot or injury could result. Hold the cot securely while a patient is on the
product.
Never apply the optional wheel locks while a patient is on the cot. Tipping could occur if the cot is moved while
the wheel lock is applied, resulting in injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
Siderails are not intended to serve as a patient restraint device. See page 60 for proper restraint strap usage.
Failure to use the restraint straps properly could result in patient injury.
Hydraulically raising or lowering the cot may temporarily affect electronic patient monitoring equipment. For best
results, patient monitoring should be conducted when the cot is idle.
High obstacles such as curbing, steps or rough terrain can cause the cot to tip, possibly causing injury to the
patient or operator.
If the cot is equipped with the optional kickstand, make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position
and does not engage during transport.
Transporting the cot in lower positions reduces the potential of a cot tip. If possible, obtain additional assistance
or take an alternate route.
Power-LOAD is designed to be compatible with the 6085/6086 Performance-PRO XT, 6500/6506 Power-PRO™
XT, and 6510/6516 Power-PRO™ IT cots with the Power-LOAD option only. In certain situations, you can use
Power-LOAD as a standard antler for most X-frame cots, but a rail clamp assembly is required for all cots without
the Power-LOAD option.
It is the responsibility of the cot operator to ensure that the cot being used in the Stryker Model 6390 Power-LOAD
system is a Power-LOAD compatible cot. Injury may result if a non-compatible cot is used in the Stryker Model
6390 Power-LOAD system.
Two operators must be present when the cot is occupied.
Operators must be able to lift the total weight of the patient, cot and any items on the cot.
The higher an operator must lift the cot, the more difficult it becomes to hold the weight. An operator may need
help loading the cot if he/she is too short or if the patient is too heavy to lift safely. The operator must be able to
lift the cot high enough for the cot legs to unfold completely and lock when the cot is unloaded. A shorter operator
needs to raise their arms higher to enable the undercarriage to unfold.
There must be a safety hook properly installed in the vehicle so that the bumper does not interfere with the front
legs of the base frame.
When using a cot fastener, do not load the cot into the vehicle with the head section retracted. Loading the cot
with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly
causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot.
Whenever the weight of the cot and patient is no longer supported by the wheels, the cot will automatically enter
the high speed retract mode if the retract (–) button is pressed.
After the weight is off of the ground, the operators must support the load of the patient, cot and any accessories.
Failure to support the load properly may cause injury to the patient or operator.
The one person loading and unloading procedures are for use only with an empty cot. Do not use the procedures
when loading/unloading a patient. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
Do not pull or lift on the safety bar when unloading the cot. Damage to the safety bar could result and injury to
the patient or operator could occur.
Do not press the extend (+) button until the safety bar has engaged the safety hook.
To avoid injury, always verify that the head section is locked into place prior to operating the cot.
Do not attempt to load the cot into the patient compartment with the head section retracted. Loading the cot
with the head section retracted may cause the product to tip or not engage properly in the cot fastener, possibly
causing injury to the patient or operator and/or damage to the product.
Never install or use a wheel lock on a cot with excessively worn wheels. Installing or using a wheel lock on a wheel
with less than a 6” diameter could compromise the holding ability of the wheel lock, possibly resulting in injury to
the patient or operator and/or damage to the cot or other equipment.
Do not attach restraints to the base tubes, cross tubes, or fowler skin. Improper restraint attachment could result in
damage to the cot further resulting in injury to the patient or operator.

To avoid the risk of patient injury or equipment damage, ensure that you properly mount and secure the defibrillator
platform to the cot.
To avoid the risk of patient injury or equipment damage, you must use the provided straps to secure the defibrillator
to the defibrillator platform.
Due to the difference in sizes and shapes of available defibrillators, you may have to change the location and
adjustment of the straps that secure the defibrillator to the defibrillator platform. To avoid the risk of patient injury
or equipment damage, use and adjust all straps properly to ensure the security of the defibrillator.
To avoid the risk of patient injury or equipment damage, the weight placed on the defibrillator platform must not
exceed 30 lb (13.6 kg).
Stryker recommends a two person operation when using the kickstand.
Make sure that the patient weight is centered on the cot before using the kickstand.
Engage the kickstand with your foot only.
Lower cot height prior to engaging kickstand for increased stability.
Make sure that the kickstand remains in the retracted position and does not engage during transport.
Do not use the kickstand as a brake.
Do not engage kickstand on a sloped surface.
If the cot is equipped with the optional retractable head section oxygen bottle holder, use caution while the oxygen
bottle holder is installed to avoid pinching your fingers between the fowler bracket and the oxygen bottle.
To avoid accidental release of the Pedi-Mate®, and possible injury to the infant, ensure that the restraint buckle is
located away from obstructions on the cot or accessories.
When the optional head end storage flat is being used, ensure that it does not interfere with the operation of the
retractable head section, safety bar and safety hook. Injury to the patient or operator could result.
When cleaning, use any appropriate personal safety equipment (goggles, respirator, etc.) to avoid the risk of
inhaling contagion. Use of power washing equipment can aerate contamination collected during the use of the cot.
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 EMS equipment, measures
must be taken to ensure the cots are wiped with clean water and thoroughly dried following cleaning. Failure to
properly rinse and dry the cots will leave a corrosive residue on the surface of the cots, possibly causing premature
corrosion of critical components.
Failure to properly clean or dispose of contaminated mattress or other cot components will increase the risk of
bloodborne pathogens and may cause injury to the patient or operator.
Escaping fluid under pressure can penetrate the skin causing serious injury. Avoid the hazard by relieving pressure
before disconnecting hydraulic or other lines. Tighten all connections before applying pressure. If an accident
occurs, see a doctor immediately. Any fluid injected into the skin must be surgically removed within a few hours or
gangrene may result. Doctors unfamiliar with this type of injury should reference a knowledgeable medical source.
To avoid the risk of injury, do not use bare hands to check for hydraulic leaks.
Take special precautions regarding electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) when using medical electrical equipment
like Power-PRO™. Install and place Power-PRO™ into service according to the EMC information in this manual.
Portable and mobile RF communications equipment can affect the function of Power-PRO™.
The use of accessories, transducers and cables other than those specified, with the exception of transducers
and cables sold by Stryker as replacement parts for internal components may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the Power-PRO™ cot.
The Power-LOAD system and the Power-PRO™ cot should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other
equipment. If adjacent or stacked use is necessary, observe the Power-PRO™ cot to verify normal operation in
the configuration in which it will be used.
Power-PRO™ operates at the following frequencies: 70 - 125 kHz for inductive charging and 13.56 MHz±7 kHz,
Amplitude Modulated (OOK), ERP: -79.57 dBm. The Power-PRO™ cot may be interfered with by other equipment,
even if that other equipment complies with CISPR emission requirements.

•
•
•
•
Use the cot only as described in this manual.
Read all labels and instructions on the cot before using the cot.
Before first and every use, inspect the SMRT™ Pak housing and terminal area for cracks and/or damage.
Loading or unloading an occupied cot into a vehicle requires a minimum of two (2) trained operators. One or
two operators can lift from the foot end of the cot. Stryker recommends that both operators are at the foot end to
reduce the load on each operator. If additional assistance is needed, see “Using Additional Assistance” on page
51.
Do not adjust, roll or load the cot into a vehicle without advising the patient. Stay with the patient and control the
cot at all times.
The cot can be transported in any position. Stryker recommends that the operators transport the patient in the
lowest comfortable position to maneuver the cot.
Only use the wheel locks during patient transfer or without a patient on the cot.
Do not leave wheel locks engaged while transporting the cot. Failure to do so may cause wheel damage.
Always use the restraint straps.
Use properly trained helpers, when necessary, to control the cot.
WARNING
•
Improper usage of the cot can cause injury to the patient or operator. Operate the cot only as described in this
manual.
• 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.
• Ensure proper hand placement on hand grips. Hands should be clear of red safety bar pivots while loading and
unloading the cot or whenever changing height position of the cot with two or more operators.
• Do not ride on the base of the cot. Damage to the product could occur, resulting in injury to the patient or operator.
Ǩ 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.
• Any emergency vehicle to be used with this cot must have the in-fastener shut-off system installed (if not using
Power-LOAD) (see page 27).
CAUTION
Before operating the cot, clear any obstacles that may interfere and cause injury to the operator or patient.
PROPER LIFTING TECHNIQUES
When lifting the cot and patient, there are five basic guidelines to help you avoid injury:
