9. Press at least one of the enable switches on the underside of the blue transport handles.
• Pressure sensors located in the transport handles sense the applied pressure, activate the
motor, and propel the bed in the direction of applied pressure.
• The amount of applied pressure to the handles will regulate the speed of the bed.
– Increasing the forward applied pressure will move the bed forward faster. Maximum
forward speed is between 2.5 and 3.5 mph (4.0 and 5.6 kph) on level flooring.
– Increasing the reverse applied pressure will move the bed in reverse faster. Maximum
reverse speed is between 1.0 and 2.0 mph (1.6 and 3.2 kph) on level flooring.
– Decreasing pressure on the transport handles will slow the bed down.
– Releasing the enable switch(es) on the transport handles will cause the bed to stop.
• Pressing an enable switch engages the drive wheel on the
bed so it can move when pressure is applied to the
handles.
• Pressing an enable switch will not cause the bed to start
moving if there is no pressure applied to the handles.
10. Push the transport handles forward to start forward movement
or pull them toward you to start reverse movement. There may
be a momentary delay before the bed moves.
To Deactivate the IntelliDrive Transport System
1. Set the brake/steer system to neutral or brake, or
2. Plug the bed into an appropriate power source.
To Store the Transport Handles
1. Grasp the handles, and lift upwards to unlock the handles.
2. Swing the handles inward toward the center of the bed into
the stowed position.
In case of battery or motor power loss, press the electronic brake
switch (on the drive box on the bottom of the bed) to permit
forward and reverse bed movement with a deployed,
unpowered, IntelliDrive Transport System.
