Chapter 1: Introduction
Page 1 - 14 Century+™ Bed Service Manual (man241)
The foot pedals are located in convenient, accessible locations, and are clearly
identified to distinguish between the braking and steering.
Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg
When activated, the bed can be positioned in Trendelenburg or Reverse
Trendelenburg. These functions are available only at the attendant control
console. Visual indicators show the bed’s surface angle in degrees and inches.
Activating any hilow switch automatically brings the bed out of the
Trendelenburg or Reverse Trendelenburg position.
Manual Operation
The hilow, head, and knee functions may be manually operated if electrical
power is not available.
Lockouts
When activated, lockouts prevent the patient from operating the head, knee, or
hilow functions. Lockouts are only available at the attendant control console,
and are used when necessary for patient safety. Activation of the knee lockout
also prevents the automatic contour function.
Attendant Control Console
The attendant control console is located at the foot end of the bed. Access is
limited so that the bed occupant cannot accidentally activate these functions.
The attendant control console houses:
• Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg control lever
• Hilow/Trendelenburg/Reverse Trendelenburg control switch
• Hilow function lockout switch
• Knee function lockout switch
• Head function lockout switch
IV Rod Accommodation
There are six locations where an IV rod can be installed—two at the head end,
two at the seat section, and two at the foot end. The four corner locations (head
end and foot end) have enough structural integrity to allow the use of fracture
frame equipment.
