5/32" Allen key
Needle Nose pliers

1/2" Wrench
OG2 Grease

1. Raise the bed to high position, lock the casters and bring the mattress support to horizontal

3. Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle.
4. Remove both head safety siderails. Refer to the "Head Siderail Assembly" replacement

must
be
replaced with new identical bolts.

the replacement head section.
