Battery Operation.
Check operation of the battery by completing the steps described in section Battery
Test (refer to section 3)
4.3 Manual Functions
The following tests check functions that are not electrically powered.
Brakes & Steering.
Check the brakes for efficient operation. Apply the brakes by pressing down on either
one of the central locking brake levers and push the bed. None of the four braking
castors should rotate.
Place the pedals in the “steer” position and verify that the tracking (steering) castor is
engaged and does not swivel. The tracking castor should be placed at the head end,
and on the same side as the link bar.
Split Side Rails.
Check operation of each of the four split side rail sections. Verify that the release and
latching mechanism are effective and that the sides are securely locked when raised.
Also, check that sides drop down in a controlled manner when locking mechanism is
released.
Base Extension.
Check that the base extension extends and retracts smoothly and easily. Make sure
that release handle and catch bar operate easily and that the extension locks securely
in both extended and retracted positions.
Bed Stripper (linen Rack).
Check that the linen rack extends and retracts smoothly and easily.
Emergency CPR Release.
Use the bed controls to raise the backrest to about 45°. Operate either CPR release
lever to verify that the backrest quickly descends to a horizontal (flat) position in a
smooth, controlled manner. Check that both CPR release handles operate correctly.
Manual Calf Section.
Use the bed controls to fully raise the thigh section. Holding the Calf section by the
mattress keep handle (found on either side of the bed), slowly lift as the section will
incrementally click and lock into position if released. To lower the calf section back
down, lift the calf section all the way up and the ratchet system will release allowing the
calf section to be lowered down to the neutral position.
