Problem Descriptions Troubleshooting Steps
5 Brakes do not engage. a. Remove base covers to access the brake mechanism.
b. Check all bolted connections between the casters, linkages, and brake pedal.
If there are any loose connections (e.g. bolts are wiggling, missing nuts) or
disconnected linkages, retighten so that the bolts can only rotate freely.
c. Verify that each caster is in Total Lock (no rotation, no swivel). If any casters
are not locked, remove the caster and replace it with a new one. (See
“Replacement Parts List” for part number).
d. If the brakes still do not work, please contact Amico Beds CSR or your Amico
Sales Executive for support.
6 Unintended motion is observed. a. Check all siderail and footboard controls to determine if any of the buttons are
being pressed unintentionally.
b. If no buttons are visibly being pressed, remove the Footboard and verify if the
motion still occurs. If motion ceases, the Footboard control is faulty and may
need to be replaced (See “Replacement Parts List” for part number).
c. If motion is still observed after Step “b”, one of the Siderail Controls may be
faulty. Allow the motion to complete (i.e. actuator has reached the end of the
stroke), then proceed to Step 2 of the “Head Siderail Replacement” section of
this manual.
d. Remove one siderail first and check if functionality has been restored. If
bed movement control has been restored, the removed siderail is faulty;
otherwise, the other siderail is faulty. Replace the faulty siderail by following
the “Head Siderail Replacement” section. (See “Replacement Parts List” for part
number).
e. If the steps above are followed and the problem persists, please contact
Amico Beds CSR or your Amico Sales Executive for support.
