9. Loosen the bolt (
H
) holding the head actuator to its bracket until the actuator can be rotated

Apply grease on the bolt, the spring washer and the inner sides of the bracket, including the
pivot pin, when reassembling the actuator.
10. Remove the two screws (
M
) holding the plastic dust cover (
N
) to the actuator and remove
cover.
11. Unscrew the actuator tube (
Q
) until you see through the tube holes (
P
) (holes used to hook
the actuator tube to the head section) the screw nylon guide (
O
). Unscrew the tube a little
more until the nylon guide has passed the tube holes.
12. Apply grease generously into the actuator tube through the holes.
13. Screw the actuator tube back into original position (approximately). Do not worry about the
position where you will bring back the tube, the final adjustment at step 15.1 will correctly
position the tube.
14. Reverse above steps to replace the head actuator. Run Fowler a few time up and down
completely to spread grease and check and to check its functioning.
It is of utmost importance
that the head actuator be adjusted prior to hooking up its tube to
the head section. An improper adjustment of the actuator can damage the bed mechanisms.
15.1. Proceed as follow to adjust the head actuator:
•
Plug the bed. Make sure that the head actuator cable is connected to the PC
Board.
•
Hold firmly the actuator tube and run the head actuator up for a few seconds then
run it down until it stops. This will be the head actuator lower limit.
•
Turn the tube in either direction to line up the tube holes with the head lever arm
holes and insert clevis pin.
Hi-lo Actuator Screws
1. Raise the bed to high position (in this position, the two Hi-lo actuators will reach their
maximum extension) and lock casters.
2. Raise Fowler and Knee Gatch to the high position.
3. Unplug the power cord from the wall receptacle.
4. Bring the head side-rails down and raise the foot side-rails.
5. Manually lift and fold the foot section back towards the head end of the bed (see figure
4.1 in Appendix B).
6. Remove the two screws (
R
) holding the tube support (
S
) of the two Hi-lo actuators and
remove the tube supports to uncover the actuator screws.
7. Apply grease all over the screw treads with a brush making sure the grease penetrates
to the bottom of the treads.
8. Replace the two tube supports.
9. Replace the foot section to horizontal position and run the Hi-lo function up and down
completely a few times to spread grease evenly and test Hi-lo mechanism.
