If the unit is equipped with an elevating base,
the bed can be raised or lowered using the
bed height pedals located on the legs on
either side of the warmer. The bed height can
be adjusted low enough for use by a seated
caregiver, or can be raised high enough
for procedures performed by standing
caregivers.
Fixed height bed models can be adjusted
by following the instructions found in the
service manual.
WARNING
Do not attempt to adjust the xed
base while a patient is in the bed.
After adjustments to the xed base
height have been made, ensure the
xed base is locked in place before
placing a patient in the bed.
