Introduction 

Chapter 1

 

 

Plug the power cord into a properly grounded hospital grade wall receptacle. 

For both models, ensure that the On/Off switch LED goes on when the switch is turned 
on. 

Check (if present) the yellow bed-on-caster warning LED and the casters for proper 
operation by doing the following:  

FL18E1:

 Press and hold the Hi-Lo switch in the foot end control panel to lower the 

bed until it automatically stops. Release switch, press and hold it again to lower the 
bed onto its casters. Ensure the yellow bed-on-caster warning LED blinks when the 
bed is lowered onto its casters and goes out when the bed is brought back onto its 
legs. Check casters for proper operation when the bed is resting on them. 

FL18E2:

 Press and hold the Hi-Lo switch in the foot end control panel to lower the 

bed until it rests onto its legs. Ensure that the yellow bed-on-caster warning LED goes 
off when the bed is lowered onto its legs and blinks when it is brought back onto its 
casters. Ensure the bed moves easily when resting on its casters. Apply the locking 
mechanism on all casters and try to move the bed to ensure it is properly stabilized. 

Connect the pendant control to the bed receptacles located on each side of the bed under 
the centre section of the sleep surface: 

Deactivate (allows access to pendant control commands) the optional lockout controls 
and test all pendant controls for proper operation. 

Activate the optional lockout controls in the foot end control panel and ensure that they 
effectively lock the corresponding pendant controls.  

Using the Hi-Lo switch and/or the pendant controls and/or the hand cranks, fully raise and 
lower the sleep surface, the Fowler and the Knee Gatch to ensure they all move smoothly. 

Foot support arm working properly. 

Check the emergency hand crank (optional) for proper operation in all available screw 
openings located at the foot end of the bed. 

Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly, and lock in the up position. If the bed is 
equipped with half-length siderails, ensure that rails lock in the down position. 

If any problems are found during bed set-up, contact our Technical Service department (see 
section 1.2). 

Manual (FL18M1/M2) Bed Checklist 

Ensure the siderails raise and lower smoothly, and lock in the up position. If the bed is 
equipped with half-length siderails, ensure that rails lock in the down position. 

Using the three hand cranks, fully raise and lower the sleep surface, the Fowler and the 
Knee Gatch to ensure they operate properly. 

Foot support arm working properly. 

Ensure bed casters operate properly: 

FL18M1:

 Lower the sleep surface, using the hand cranks, until the bed rests on its 

casters and move the bed. Ensure the bed moves easily. 

FL18M2:

 Ensure the bed moves easily when resting on its casters. Apply the locking 

mechanism on each casters and try to move the bed to ensure it is properly stabilized. 

If any problems are found during bed set-up, contact our Technical Service department (see 
section 1.2).
