Usage Features:
- Headboard and Footboard Installation: Headboards and footboards attach to the main frame rails using mounting brackets, clevis pins, and hair pins. The bed supports both 80" and 84" length configurations, with specific bracket hole alignments for each.
- Mattress Retainer Installation: Mattress retainers are installed at the head and foot ends, fitting into specific holes for 80" or 84" bed lengths. For the optional Slide-W-I-D-E deck, two sets of retainers are positioned at bed head and foot corners.
- Wallsaver Installation: A wireform wallsaver can be attached to prevent the bed from contacting the wall. It has two positions, one for standard use and another for use with a Trapeze Adapter. An optional Trendelenburg Wallsaver is available for beds with Advanced Positioning.
- Caster Pedal Lock Mechanism: The bed features a pedal-lock system at the foot end. Stepping on the red pedal locks the casters, while stepping on the green pedal unlocks them, allowing the bed to roll.
- Hand Control Pendant Operation: The pendant allows control of Head Deck Angle (up/down), HI/LO (raise/lower entire bed), Knee and Foot Deck Angle (up/down). Optional pendants offer Chair Position (set/undo), Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg, Underbed Light, and HI/LO Function Lockout. The pendant cable must be properly routed and secured to prevent entanglement.
- Staff Control Panel Operation (Optional): Located on the footboard, the Staff Control Panel provides similar functions to the hand control, including individual and overall lockout capabilities for Head, Knee, Chair, HI/LO, and Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg functions. An orange LED lock symbol indicates activated lockouts.
- Slide-W-I-D-E Sleep Deck: This optional feature allows the sleep deck to expand or retract to 35", 39", or 42" widths using quick-release ball-detent pins. This adjustment is useful for navigating narrow doorways. Assist devices and the mattress must be removed before adjusting the deck width.
- Chair Position: The bed can be configured into a chair position, raising the head and knee decks while lowering the foot deck. This function can be activated via the Staff Control Panel or an Advanced Positioning Hand Control Pendant.
- Trendelenburg / Reverse Trendelenburg: The bed can be tilted into Trendelenburg (foot end up) or Reverse Trendelenburg (head end up) positions, controlled via the Staff Control Panel or an Advanced Positioning Hand Control Pendant.
Maintenance Features:
- Recommended Maintenance Schedule: Regular maintenance is crucial for safe operation. Inspections are recommended on receipt, every 3 months, and every 6 months.
- On Receipt: Check for included parts, obvious damage, power cord condition, and proper routing/connection of actuator/motor cables.
- Mechanical Inspection (Assemblies): Inspect welds for stress fractures, fasteners for wear/looseness, and lubricate pivot points, actuator/motor clevis pins, and control arm clevis pins (white lithium grease recommended).
- Mechanical Inspection (Casters and Pedal Locking Mechanism): Check proper engagement/disengagement of the pedal lock, inspect casters and stationary foot pads for damage/wear/debris, and ensure rolling casters move freely.
- Electrical Inspection (Control Box, Hand Control Pendant, Staff Control): Check external power cord for chafing/cuts/wear, ensure all attaching hardware is tight, check electrical connections for wear/fractures, inspect/replace backup battery (if applicable), and check hand control pendant cable and all button functions.
- Electrical Inspection (Actuators/Motors): Check actuator/motor cables for chafing/cuts/wear and ensure full range of movement without binding.
- Cleaning and Disinfection:
- Metal Components and Mechanical Accessories: Wipe with a clean, soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and warm water. For disinfection, use a hospital-grade disinfectant diluted per manufacturer's directions.
- Hand Control Pendant and Electrical Components: Wipe external surfaces only with a clean, soft cloth dampened with mild detergent and warm water. For disinfection, use a hospital-grade disinfectant diluted per manufacturer's directions. Air dry.
- Mattress: Wipe with a damp cloth to remove foreign material, then clean with mild detergent and warm water. For disinfection, use a hospital-grade disinfectant diluted per manufacturer's directions. Air dry.
- Important Cleaning Warnings: Unplug the bed before cleaning. DO NOT steam clean, pressure wash, use corrosive/powdered cleansers, or immerse/soak any part of the bed.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a quick reference for troubleshooting common issues such as "Nothing Works - No Power," "Audible System Warning (Intermittent Beep)," and "Knee Doesn't Lower, Audible Solid Beep Warning." It suggests checking plug connections, testing motor cables, T-cables, hand control pendants, staff controls, and the control box by swapping with known good components. More detailed troubleshooting procedures and flow charts are available online.
