14. Install the footboard posts in the outward most sockets provided at the foot end with the board facing away. If this
is a scale model, connect the two leads from the bed to the readout. One cable connector has 6 prongs while the
other has 4 prongs. Make sure the cables are connected to the appropriate connectors.
15. Do a careful walk around inspection of the bed to assure that the two main parts are properly assembled and
locked into place using the pins supplied. Look under the bed to make sure nothing is stored there. This area
must be kept clear to avoid any interference with parts in motion during bed operation.
16. When raising or lowering the bed, the casters at the foot end should be locked and the casters at the head end
should be free to move. If the casters are locked at both ends at the same time, when raising or lowering the bed,
permanent damage to the bed may result.
17. Plug the power cord into a grounded 115 volt socket having a capacity of at least 15 amps.
18. Using the hand pendant, cycle the bed through all of its operations. Make sure that everyone is clear of the
moving parts during these operations.
19. Use this Operation and Maintenance Manual to instruct all personnel who are involved in the use of this
model bed.

Operation
1. When raising or lowering the bed, the casters at the head end should be locked and the casters at the foot end
should be in the steer position. If the casters are locked at both ends at the same time, when raising or lowering
the bed, damage to the bed may result.

Use this User-Service Manual to instruct all personnel who are involved in the use of this model bed.
5. When transferring the patient into or out of the bed all four casters should be in the locked position.
6. Width section adjustments are made by pulling tether and sliding out extension.
Caution:
Extend all four sections of each side
prior
to adjusting bed position or side rails.
7. Operate side rail pulling the handle at the middle-top of the rail and rotating rail upward to ensure locked in place
in up position. The rail can be rotated outward at a 45 degrees for access to the patient or during lateral rotation.
The rail can be rotated down for egress from the bed.
Notice:
Make sure the power cord is unplugged from the power outlet prior to disconnecting/connecting any foot
panel cables. Failure to ensure bed is not powered when disconnecting/connecting the foot panel cables may result in
damage to the bed’s electronic controls.
Casters
The bed is equipped with (4) locking casters consisting of (3) total lock and (1) steer lock. The steer lock caster is
located on the left foot position and will lock the direction of the caster inline (end to end) with the bed when activated.
This allows for better control when transporting the bed. For best control the bed should be pushed or pulled from the
head end.
Never lock casters at both ends at the same time, when raising or lowering the bed, as permanent damage to the bed
may result. All casters should be locked during ingress or egress of patient.
