optional resident control panel on the inside of both head end siderails can also
be used in the electric drive version to adjust the head section.
Head Angle Indicators
The head angle indicator decals are located at both sides of the bed on the sleep
surface. These indicators provide a reference for approximately each 15
o
of
head section incline up to 60
o
.
Knee Section Inclination
The knee section of the bed may be separately adjusted to obtain the desired
degree of incline up to its limit of approximately 25
o
(± 2
o
). Control of the knee
section is via a handset control (see “Handset Control” on page 1-25). The
optional resident control panel on the inside of both head end siderails can also
be used in the electric drive version to adjust the knee section.
Hilow
The bed may be adjusted to raise or lower the sleep surface to assist in
positioning the resident, or for ease of bed entry/exit. Hilow is adjusted using
the handset control (see “Handset Control” on page 1-25). The optional
caregiver control panel located on the outside of both head end siderails can
also be used in the electric drive version to raise and lower the sleep surface.
This feature permits caregivers to control the hilow function of the bed while
minimizing accessibility to the resident.
Automatic Contour
The automatic contour automatically raises the knee section of the bed to
approximately 15
o
as the head section is elevated from a flat position, provided
that knee section operation is not locked out by the control box lockout.
Automatic contour positioning can be temporarily disabled by pressing both
the HEAD Up and KNEE Down buttons at the same time.
Steering
Swivel casters are located on the caster frame beneath the foot section of the
bed. Fixed casters are located on the caster frame beneath the head section of
the bed.
