BASE PEDAL OPERATION
The Brake/Steer pedals are located on the base at the head end of
the bed. The functions are clearly marked on the pedals.
For Trendelenberg (tilt), press down on the pedal on either side of
the bed and lean on the head end of the bed. The head end will tilt
downward. Release the pedal when the desired angle is achieved.
To bring the bed back to level, press down on the pedal and lift up on
the head end or have another person push down at the foot end.

1. To remove foot end mattress assembly, grasp the handle on the front of the mattress assembly and push
the mattress forward so it disengages from the brackets. The mattress assembly can then be lifted away
from the bed.
2. To position the foot pan section (A), pull down on the knob under the pan (see illustration page 4), grasp
the foot rest section (B) and rotate outward. There are holes in the foot pan for the knob to lock the pan
into various positions.
3. To position the foot rest section (B), lift upward by the front push bar and slide foot rest along slotted section
of foot pan. Lower foot rest so it engages in desired slot on foot pan. Once the patient is positioned, the
foot rests and pans can be adjusted for maximum access and for patient comfort.
4. To use the leg rests (C) instead of the foot pans, insert the rests into the receptacles and tighten the knobs
(D) to hold them secure. To position the leg rests, loosen knob (E) and rotate the leg support to the desired
angle. Tighten the knob to hold the rest in place. The leg rests can be stored under the foot pans if the
bed is equipped with the storage option.
