Bed length adjustment
The length of the bed is adjustable to three set positions. These are typically
used as follows:
1
Short, for manoeuvring the bed in confined spaces
2
Standard length, for normal use
3
Extended, to accommodate very tall patients
To extend the bed frame:
Pull the blue extension locking handle (
1
). Pull out the bed frame (
2
) to the
required position and release the handle.

WARNING
Install a suitable foam mattress extension (squab) at the head end when the bed is
extended.
Always adjust the bed frame and mattress platform to the same length and make sure
both are latched securely in position.
Level the mattress platform before adjusting the bed length.
