29 Stabiliser arm – replacement
This section describes how to replace the stabiliser arm. Reference is made throughout this section to
Figure 3 on page 29 and Figure 4 on page 31.
29.1 Removal
To remove the stabiliser arm:
29.1.1 Adjust the mattress platform to a mid-height position, about 50-60cm above the floor.
29.1.2 Pry off and discard the capped starlock (Fig 4, Item 6) and plain starlock (Fig 4, Item 9) from
the bottom of the stabiliser arm assembly (Fig 4, Item 4). Drive the clevis pin (Fig 4, Item 8) out
of the base fabrication (Fig 3, Item 11) to release the stabiliser arm. Note: to remove the clevis
pin on the right hand side of the base, you may need to disconnect the brake link fabrication
at the head end – refer to Subsection 7.1.
29.1.3 Pry off and discard the capped starlock (Fig 4, Item 6) and plain starlock (Fig 4, Item 9) from
the top end of the stabiliser arm. Pull the stabiliser arm off the head end radius arm
(Fig 4, Item 3).
29.2 Installation
To install the stabiliser arm:
29.2.1 Fit the upper hole in the stabiliser arm assembly (Fig 4, Item 4) over the spigot on the head end
radius arm (Fig 4, Item 3). Secure it with a new starlock (Fig 4, Item 9) and a new capped
starlock (Fig 4, Item 6). The stabiliser arm must be free to rotate but not too loose.
29.2.2 Push the clevis pin (Fig 4, Item 8) through the hole in the base fabrication (Fig 3, Item 11), with
the head on the outside of the bed. Fit the lower hole in the stabiliser arm over the clevis pin.
Secure it with a new starlock (Fig 4, Item 9) and a new capped starlock (Fig 4, Item 6).
29.2.3 If previously removed, reconnect the brake link fabrication – refer to Subsection 7.2.
