Storage and Transport
• Examine the mains power supply cable and all other cables for damage and
replace as necessary.
• Put the mains power supply cable on the storage hooks and attach the
handset to the headboard frame when the bed is transported.
• To make steering easiest, set the castors to a specific state. Go to “Release
the Brakes” on page 1-12.
• When the bed is transported over long distances or up ramps, make sure to
use two people.
• When the bed needs to be moved from side-to-side, release the brakes. Go
to “Release the Brakes” on page 1-12.
• After the bed has been relocated, set the castors to the fully-locked
position. Go to “Apply the Brakes” on page 1-12.
• The bed must be placed on a level surface. Make sure all castors touch the
floor.
• Do a visual check for obstructions above and below the bed frame, and
position the bed so that it can operate through the full height range without
a chance of collision.
• Do a visual check for obstructions through the full movements of the
Trendelenburg and Reverse Trendelenburg functions.
