Foot Pedal for Adjustment of Bed Height (Optional Feature)
Bed height can be adjusted from bed control panels and from the foot pedal
located near the foot end of the bed.
Lift cover of pedal with foot and press left side to raise the bed height. Press
right side of pedal to lower bed height.
Brakes and Steering
Operate the brake pedals with your feet while wearing suitable
shoes. Do not operate the pedals with your hands.
The steering caster may be at either end of the bed, as specified
by the customer.
The pedals have three positions as shown below:
•
BRAKE: brakes are applied on all four casters.
•
FREE: all four casters are free to rotate and swivel.
•
STEER: all four casters can rotate, but the steering caster (see below) is
locked so that it cannot swivel. This helps to keep the bed on a straight
line.

Using the Steering Caster
Position the bed so that all the casters line up in the direction of travel. Raise
the pedals to lock the steering caster and move the bed by pushing it from the
opposite end of the steering caster. The steering caster is identified by a yellow
collar at the top of the caster stem.
