Set-up
4.9 Installing Low Bed Ends
The low height feature of the Low Bed Ends creates specific
use requirements that are different from the Universal Bed
Ends.
Prior to using other Invacare accessories, ALWAYS
verify proper placement of these products to allow
for unobstructed and proper use in accordance with
their respective user manuals.
Low bed ends are designed to be used with Invacare
full electric foot spring 5490LOW and head spring
5000IVC.
CAUTION!
Risk of Damage
The Low Bed Ends are designed to be used in
pairs. If not used as a pair, bed will not sit level
and will not work properly possibly resulting in
damage to the bed.
– DO NOT combine low bed end with any other
bed end.
4.9.1 Installing the Casters onto the Low Bed Ends
On low bed, casters only operate when bed is in
lowest position.
Always install locking caster in the same location on
each bed end so that they will always be diagonally
opposite each other when bed is assembled.
If two (2) locking casters are NOT included with the
bed, contact a qualified dealer.
1. Determine desired bed height position. Install casters
H
in either the caster sockets
A
or in the bed legs
B
for increased bed height.
2. Install casters by first laying the bed ends C flat on
the floor.
3. Insert the shaft D of caster assembly into the caster
socket.
4. To prevent excess movement of the bed during
assembly, lock the two (2) locking casters by pushing
DOWN on the caster lock
G .
Locking the casters may NOT prevent the bed
from moving on slick or slippery surfaces.
5. To unlock the two (2) locking casters E , pull UP on the
caster lock F .
6. Refer to 4.8 Assembling the Universal Bed Ends, page
24 for instructions on how to install Low Bed Ends.
