Bed Frame Features
Hillrom Progressa ICU Hospital Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 15) 61
Warning—A single person can transport the bed. To help prevent injury or equipment damage,
additional people may be needed for transport if the bed does not have the IntelliDrive Transport
System during these conditions:
• High weight is on the bed—greater than 250 lb (113 kg)
• Casters are not aligned with the direction of travel
Additional people may also be needed for transport if the bed does not have the IntelliDrive Transport
System during these conditions:
• Floor is not level—inclines, declines, or lateral tilt
• Floor obstructions—thresholds, floor transitions, or gaps
• Floor is not hard—carpeting
Warning—During transport, use caution so the bed does not tip or overbalance. Failure to do so may
cause injury or equipment damage.
Generally, as the load increases, the risk of instability goes up.
Lower the bed height to increase stability.
Use and position of accessories may affect stability. Do not overextend IV poles or similar accessories
and do not overload accessories. If multiple accessories are in use, distribute them evenly from side to
side or head to foot.
For inclines or thresholds, approach them as you move forward or backwards, rather than sideways.
To help prevent overbalance or collision with hidden objects or people, do not make sharp turns at
corners and do not turn the bed at high speeds.
After Transport
• Put the bed in the intended location.
• Set the brakes.
• Stow the transport handles or IntelliDrive Transport System handles.
• Connect the AC power cord, accessory outlet power cord, and communication cable (as applicable).
• Return IV poles to correct working height.
3. Unplug and stow the AC power cord, accessory
outlet power cord, and communication cable
on the storage hook at the head-end of the
bed.
4. Put the bed in Steer (step down on the green
pedal until it stops) or Neutral position.
5. Make sure the casters are in the trailing
position.
6. Use the transport handles or IntelliDrive
Transport System to move the bed.
