Extending the bed
To accommodate taller patients, the mattress platform can be extended by
5in.(13cm) as follows.
Remove the two socket head
screws (A) securing the foot end
panel to the bed.
Pull the foot end panel out from the
bed (B) and line up the end fixing
holes below the mattress platform
with the fixing holes below the foot
end panel section.
Replace the socket head screws
(A) to secure the foot end panel in
the extended position. Make sure
both screws are fully tightened.
Squeeze the split ends of the two
retaining pins (C) and push them
up and out of the holes.
Pull the mattress retaining bar (D)
towards the foot end of the bed.
Line up the second pair of fixing
holes in the mattress retaining bar
with the holes in the leg section.
Replace the two retaining pins by
pushing them down through the leg
section and mattress retaining bar.
