CRANK HANDLE USAGE
Standard Cribs are equipped with a crank handle for head elevation and it is located on
the
left side
of the foot end. The head crank handle should be tucked in when not in use to
help avoid damage from it hitting or getting caught on other objects when the bed is being
moved.
To use the head crank handle, pull it out from its tucked position and turn clockwise to
elevate the head section of the crib.The head section on the Standard Crib will articulate
to approximately 30 degrees, or
14 turns
of the crank handle.
The Tilt Indicator pictured above shows a crib with the head raised to its maximum height position
of approximately 30 degrees.
NOTE: The head section of the crib will not articulate higher than the stated 30
degrees. The crank handle will continue to turn after 14 revolutions, however it will
become noticeably more di
ffi
cult. Continued cranking will not raise the head of the
crib any further, it will only put stress on the crank handle components and
eventually cause them to break.
