Quick Adjustment of Lower Leg Rest
1.
Lower any safety sides that are raised, at least on the side chosen to
perform the procedure, to make it easier to reach the bed.
2.
With one hand, grasp the grab handle [
5
] for the lower leg rest.
3.
With the other hand, pull the operating lever [
11
], which is located under
the mattress base, outwards and guide the lower leg rest down to the
desired position using the grab handle
[5]
.
4.
The lower leg rest is not held in position until the operating lever [
11
] is
released.
This procedure can be carried out from either of the long sides of the
bed.
If there is no load on the lower leg rest and it is steeply raised, it may
be necessary to press it down manually in addition.
After actuating the operating lever, a heavy patient may cause
the lower leg rest to fall down!
Always grip the lower leg rest by the grab handle [
2
] with one hand
so as to “control” the adjustment.
With a stripped down bed (without patient and mattress), the thigh
rest automatically swings back up when the operating lever is
actuated.
