The IntelliDrive® XL Transport System option is a permanently attached power driven mechanism built
into the bed. This mechanism deploys or stows based on the bed height. The system is activated when
the bed brake is set to steer, the bed is disconnected from AC power, the bed is in Transport mode, and
the caregiver presses an enable switch and applies pressure to the push handles that are at the head
end of the bed. This allows the caregiver to propel the bed during patient transport with minimally
applied force. To put the bed in transport mode, you must use the transport pod.
For beds without the powered transport option, see “Non-Powered Transport” on page 41.

The transport pod is at the head end of the bed, on the
right-side push handle. The battery charge indicator on the
transport pod is
on when the battery is charged. The
indicator flashes when the battery is low. The indicator will
be
off if the battery is too low to operate the drive system.
The Equipotential Ground is at the head end of the bed, near the bed
power cord.
