Preventive Maintenance Schedule
The following preventive maintenance schedule is a reminder designed to
guide the technician through a normal preventive maintenance procedure on
the VersaCare™ Bed. Examine each element of the schedule and carry out all
the necessary adjustments during the preventive maintenance procedure.
The preventive maintenance schedule is intended to be used in conjunction
with the preventive maintenance checklist following it. This checklist is
designed to keep a running history of maintenance and subsequent repair costs
for the VersaCare™ Bed. Keeping close records and maintaining the
VersaCare™ Bed are two good ways to reduce downtime and at the same time,
keep the nursing staff happy and efficient.
