Progressa® Bed Instructions for Use (171528 REV 9) 43
Transport the bed
1. Raise the bed so the transport handles are at a
comfortable height.
2. Make sure the head section is low enough to
have clear view of the travel path.
3. Make sure the patient, equipment, and all lines
are securely placed within the perimeter of the
bed.
4. Lower IV poles as applicable so they do not
impact doorways or ceiling fixtures.
5. Unplug and stow the AC power cord,
accessory outlet power cord, and
communication cable on the storage hook at
the head-end of the bed.
6. Set the brakes to Neutral or Steer (step down
on the green brake pedal until it stops).
7. Make sure the casters are in the trailing
position.
8. Use the transport handles or IntelliDrive®
Transport System to move the bed.
Warning—A single person can transport the bed. Additional people may be needed for transport if the
bed does not have IntelliDrive® Transport System during these conditions:
• Floor is not level—inclines, declines, or lateral tilt
• Floor obstructions—thresholds, floor transitions, or gaps
• Floor is not hard—carpeting
• High weight is on the bed—greater than 250 lb (113 kg)
• Casters not aligned with the direction of travel
Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury.
Warning—During transport, use caution so the bed does not tip or overbalance. Failure to do so may
cause injury or equipment damage.
Generally, as the load increases, the risk of instability goes up.
Lower the bed height to increase stability.
Use and position of accessories may affect stability. Do not overextend IV poles or similar accessories
and do not overload accessories. If multiple accessories are in use, distribute them evenly from side to
side or head to foot.
For inclines or thresholds, approach them as you move forward or backwards, rather than sideways.
To help prevent overbalance or collision with hidden objects or people, do not make sharp turns at
corners and do not turn the bed at high speeds.
