Periodic Inspection and Maintenance
(See Customer Maintenance Check List)
The amount of maintenance required by the bed will be dictated by its use. As a minimum the unit should be
periodically inspected every 6 months.
1. After a week or two of usage, check all the bolts to be sure that none of them have worked loose and that all pins
are in their normal location and securely fastened. Check all welds.
2. At least once every six months the actuator drive screw should be lubricated using a heavy duty grease such as
Drydene #5871 or equivalent.
3. Put light machine oil on all pivot points every 6 months.
4.
Check all electrical connections for tightness.
5. Check all electrical wiring for fraying, kinking damage and/or deterioration.
IF ANY DISCREPANCIES ARE NOTED DURING INSPECTION, THEY MUST BE CORRECTED BEFORE
CONTINUED USE OF THE BED.

Isolate the Problem
Interchange motor connections on
control module. Swap connections
on the module so that problem motor
is plugged into a motor connection
on the module that is working. If the
problem motor now operates and
the motor that was OK now does not
operate, it indicates either the control
module or the pendant is faulty.
Replace as required.
Bad control module
Bad motor
Bad wiring
