Safety Notes
Warnings and Cautions
You must heed the following warnings and cautions. Failure to observe these
safety precautions may result in personal injury or mechanical failure. Read
all instructions carefully before using the bed.
- Always raise the side rails whenever the patient is lying on the bed in the supine position
- Always lock all casters and align parallel to the patient before use.(see pg 2)
- Take special care to lock the casters securely when reclining or inclining the bed or when transferring the patient to or from the bed.
- Place the bed in a level position when transferring the patient to or from the bed.
- Do not confuse the head end and foot end of the bed when placing the patient in the supine position.
- The mattress should be sufficiently wide enough to prevent any part of the patient’s body from falling between the side rails and the mattress.
- Make sure all persons and objects are clear of the bed when raising or lowering the bed. Do not place arms or head into the frame while operating.
- Moving parts. Watch for pinch points. Keep fingers, arms, legs, and objects clear of the bed when any mechanism is in motion.
- Keep all objects out from under the bed. Certain parts under the bed raise and lower when the bed is in motion. Make sure there is nothing under the bed to interfere with proper bed operations.
- Do not allow the patient to sit on the bed when it is in the highest position.
- Lower the bed to the lowest position before allowing the patient to sit on the bed.
Intended Use & Product Description
- Weight Limit: Never exceed the weight limit of your bed (combined weight of user and items on the bed.) Exceeding the weight limit may cause the bed to fail. The capacity is on the head end of the deck and on the serial number label.

Assembly Instructions
- Install the headboard posts in the square sockets provided at the head end with the board closest to the mattress. (page 2)
- Install the footboard posts in the square sockets provided at the foot end with the board away from the mattress. (page 2)
- Install the side rails as shown on page 2.
- Install the lift handle with bolt and lock nut. Be sure that the lift handle is in the correct orientation (see picture below).
Perform the following checks before using the bed:
-
Do a careful walk-around inspection of the bed. Look underneath the bed to make sure there is nothing stored there. This area must be kept clear to avoid any interference with bed parts, which move during operation.
-
Lock the casters (two individual locks and two steering control type casters) and rotate the steering casters until they lock in place.
-
Plug the power cord into a 120 volt grounded socket with a capacity of at least 15 amperes. Using the handset, cycle the bed through all of its operations. (see pg 6) Make sure that everyone (including you) is clear of the bed during these operations. See that:
a) All power bed operations work smoothly and stop in any desired position.
b) Bed height, angle of the leg lift, and backrest can be adjusted properly. -
Position the side rails, be sure they slide up and down properly
-
When you are satisfied that the bed is operating properly, instruct all personnel who may be involved in the bed operation.
Operating the bed
Steering the bed
The bed can be steered in two modes, with the steering locked or with all four
casters able to move independently. The two casters on the foot end are the
“steer” control type. (page 2)
Foot end: Using the steering lock function
The steering lock function allows you to easily steer the bed in a straight
line.
At the foot end of the bed, step down on the front of either caster pedal
until it clicks, then move the bed in a straight line about 3 feet backward or
forward to lock. This action will keep the caster from swiveling and allow
better forward and backward movement. The bed can now be moved with greater
stability. Push the bed from the head end. Do not lock the other steering
caster.
Using the 4-caster free function
To allow the bed to be rolled alongside a stretcher, unlock all four casters.
To unlock, step down on the back of the control pedal on each caster as shown
in the illustration.
Locking the Casters
The locking function holds the bed motionless when the bed is parked. Lock all
casters when transferring the patient to and from a bed. Casters are the
individually locking type. For stability when parking the bed, the casters
should be positioned as shown on page 2.
**CAUTION** The caster lock is not designed to stop a bed that is in motion. Do not operate the caster control pedal while moving the bed, otherwise an injury or accident may occur.
Upright Back Position
The Backrest stops at any angle between 0 degrees (horizontal) position and an
upright position of about 50 degrees.
Warning
Before operating the backrest always ensure that casters are locked.
Otherwise, an accident or injury may occur.
SIDERAIL ADJUSTMENT
Head end side rails are located on each side of the bed. Side rails have a
2-position vertical adjustment.
To raise or lower the side rail, grab a top section of the rail with one hand
while pulling the Release Knob with the other hand. Pull side rail up or down
as required. Allow the Release Knob to spring back into the locked position.
WARNING
Make sure side rails are securely locked into position. Otherwise, an injury
or accident may occur.
Actuators, control & handset
LINEAR ACTUATORS
The bed is equipped with 24V DC Linear Actuators designed with built-in travel
limit switches. Each actuator is equipped with quick-release pivot pins (3/8”
x 2”) on both ends. If disassembled retain pivot pins and hairpin clip.
CONTROL MODULE
The Control Module is designed to control all actuators in the system. The
Control Box mounts directly on one of the actuators as shown. Retain with
screw (#8 x 1 ½”).
HANDSET
The Handset is used to control all actuator functions. When not in use, the
Handset hooks on the top of the side rail.
NOTE:
Before removing connectors from the control module, remove the plastic
retainer strip. The retainer strip must be reassembled after connectors are
plugged back in. Assure that all connectors are fully plugged in.

Diagnostic & Repair
| PROBLEM | CAUSE | SOLUTION |
|---|
No functions operate Green Power-on light does
not glow
The power cord is plugged in but no functions operate| No power to unit
Electrical power cord not properly plugged into control module Bad handset
Bad control module| Check the power cord.
Is it plugged into a receptacle?
Check the cord for breaks.
Check for power to the receptacle.
Replace handset.
Replace the control module.
Three actuators operate “OK” one
the actuator will not operate| Bad control module
Bad handset
Bad actuator motor| ISOLATE THE PROBLEM
Interchange connections on the control module so that the problem actuator is
plugged into an actuator connection on the control module that is working
satisfactorily. If the problem actuator now operates “OK” but the actuator
that was operating “OK” now has a problem, either the control module or
handset is faulty. Replace as required.
The actuator will not function properly
Or not at all| Defective wiring
Defective Actuator Motor| Check to wire between control and actuator. Reverse
wires.
Replace actuator
Bed not grounded| The unit is not grounded between the power cord and frame or
between the power cord and wall receptacle| Check ground (green wire) between
frame and power cord
Is the power cord plugged into a grounded wall receptacle?
Cleaning & Maintenance
Warning: Before cleaning any portion of the bed, disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet. Do not use a power washer to clean the bed.
Caution: Before using any cleaning product, test it on the underside of the
bed.
Never use any volatile or flammable fluid (thinner, gasoline, etc.) that could
cause discoloration or deterioration.
CLEANING
Use mild soap and water or a non-abrasive hospital-grade detergent
disinfectant to clean the bed. Wet a cloth with the cleaning product and wring
dry. Then gently wipe off the bed.
Use caution when cleaning around the electrical connections to prevent shock
to the person or damage to the electrical components.
PERIODIC INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The amount of maintenance required by the bed will be dictated by its use.
Depending upon usage, inspect the bed after one to two weeks of usage and then
at a minimum of every six months.
Before two weeks and then every six months minimum thereafter
-
Check all the bolts to be sure that none have worked loose.
-
Check that all pins are in their locked position and securely fastened.
-
Check all welds.
-
Check all electrical connections for tightness
Every six months minimum -
Lubricate all slides and pivot points with FDA-approved light grease.
