ties from the bed frame (B).
2. The hand control can now be removed for service or
replacement.
NOTE
: Reverse the above directions for installation of the hand

Lubricating the Actuators
The actuators need to be greased about every three months to ensure
proper functioning. Use only heavy duty wheel bearing/axle grease.
Good quality grease can be located at a local hardware or auto supply store.
Lubricating Instructions
1. Completely extend the actuators and wipe off dust and lint prior to greasing.
2. Place the end of the grease gun hose in the hold in the
actuator.
3. Three to four pumps of the grease gun are sufficient.
4. Apply grease between thrust bearing and nylon bushing. After separating bearings from
races, grease must be worked down into both sides of the bearing.
5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for each actuator.
