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.
Extending the bed frame
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.
Take care not to pinch your fingers when lifting the catch bar.
