Transport Handles
Transport Position
The bed is intended to be used to transport patients with the foot end of the bed forward. Prior to
transport, properly store the power cords to prevent tripping. Use the power cord storage hook at the
head-end of the bed. Take care to prevent damage to AC power cords. An electrical shock hazard exists.
Use only transport handles or the footboard to move the bed.
Transport the Bed
Transport handles are provided at the head end of the bed. The
handles provide the caregiver easy-to-grasp grips for steering
and positioning the bed.
To Use:
1. Raise the handles from the stowed position.
2. Lower the handles into the bed frame.
To Stow:
1. Pull the handles upward from the bed frame.
2. Lower the handles inward toward the center of the bed until
they stop moving.
1. Raise all four siderails to the up and locked
position.
2. Raise the bed so the transport handles are at a
comfortable height.
3. Make sure the head section is low enough to
have clear view of the travel path.
4. Make sure of these (if applicable):
• Shorten the length of the bed if necessary.
• Make sure the patient, equipment, and all
lines are securely placed within the
perimeter of the bed.
• Lower IV poles as applicable so they do not
impact doorways or ceiling fixtures.
• If multiple accessories are in use, distribute them evenly from side to side or head to foot. Use
and position of accessories may affect stability. Do not overextend IV poles or similar
accessories and do not overload accessories.
• If the Patient Helper or Experience Pod Device accessory
is installed, make sure that it will not impact doorways or
ceiling fixtures.
