Stryker Prime TC
Stryker · Model Prime TC
Big wheel maneuverability Moveable, but not removable components Yellow activation points make operation intuitive for all users One-touch central brake
Key tips
- ·Casters and the wheel-lock brake take the most day-to-day wear - check both every PM, not just on complaint.
- ·A cracked weld or loose frame joint is a safety-critical finding - pull the unit from service until it's repaired.
Typical Failure Modes
Failure patterns typical of this equipment class - general BMET reference, not verified against this exact unit's own service history unless flagged. Severity is a category-level estimate.
Brake / wheel-lock failure
HighSymptoms: Won't hold position, rolls when locked.
Root cause: Brake pad wear or linkage failure.
Caster / wheel wear
MediumSymptoms: Hard to push straight, wobbles or drags.
Root cause: Bearing wear or a flat-spotted wheel.
Frame / weld fatigue
HighSymptoms: Visible crack or looseness at a joint.
Root cause: Repeated load cycling.
Upholstery / surface tear
MediumSymptoms: Torn or cracked cover, exposed padding.
Root cause: Cleaning-chemical and UV degradation, routine wear.

PM Checklist
Preventive-maintenance tasks typical of this equipment class. Perform to the manufacturer's procedure and your facility's policy - this is general reference, not a schedule for this specific unit.
- ·Caster / wheel and brake function check
- ·Frame, weld, and mounting-hardware inspection
- ·Upholstery / surface condition check
- ·Annual full PM
Troubleshooting Approach
A structured starting point derived from the failure modes above. Follow the manufacturer's service documentation for the actual procedure.
Symptom: Caster / wheel wear
- Confirm the presentation - typically hard to push straight, wobbles or drags.
- Check the most likely cause first: bearing wear or a flat-spotted wheel.
- Inspect the affected subsystem against the manufacturer's inspection checklist.
- If the fault is confirmed and not a field adjustment, service or replace the caster wheel assembly per the manufacturer's service documentation.
- Return the device to service only after the manufacturer's functional and applicable electrical-safety checks pass.
- Record the findings, any parts used, and the verification results in the maintenance history.

The hydraulic jack assemblies (PN: 0753-002-101, 0753-002-070, 0753-002-001, and 0753-002-001) were manufactured using the incorrect oil. The oil used does not contain the same wear resistance additives as the specified oils and therefore its use increases the potential for wear which may cause a leak event or jack drift. Testing was done to evaluate the jacks with incorrect oil and leak events we
