Be sure to position the pedal horizontally (neutral) when inserting its shaft into the sockets of the
locking levers (
E
, figure 4.17, page 47) and the 5th wheel activation lever (
J
).
When inserting the pedal shaft into the sockets, make sure that the locking lever is vertically
positioned and that the upper flat part of the 5th wheel activation lever is parallel to the floor (bring
the 5th wheel near the floor by exerting a pressure on it to ease this operation).

Verify the 5th wheel mechanism for proper operation before returning the bed to service.
